Am at the 48 hour period of my diacetyl rest. I tested my FG and it was 1.014 so thats good, but I tasted the sample and it had a sulfur like taste that matched the smell coming from the fermenter. The smell is usual from what I can tell and the taste may be too.
I was just wondering if that is usual for a lager and if so does it clean itself up nicely in the secondary lagering phase.
First lager if that wasn't obvious. Is 48 hours long enough to remove the diacetyl. The gravity dropped about 10 points in the 48 and just wondering if it was a wait till FG thing or wait a certain time even after FG thing.
