Hello, I am about ready to transfer my primary Oktoberfest (50 degrees) into the secondary and do the diacetyl rest at 68 degrees for 2 days. I am going to put it in a freezer with temp control. What I don't get is the recipe (kit from brewers best and doesn't say anything about the diacetyl rest) says to lower the temp 1-3 degrees a day until you hit the 34-42 range. Do I start lowering the temp from 68 or can i bring it down to 50 then start? First lager ever. This will be in a carboy and bottled after the lagering time is finished.
Let me know.
