I have an Oktoberfest that I brewed Saturday the 9th, I pitched warm (70 F) and fermentation took off in about 5 hours. It took a good 18 hours for it to get down to 54 F. Starting gravity was 1052 and yesterday the sg reading was at 1021. So far it has been fermenting for 9 days but one was pretty warm. My mash was held at 154 for 60 min and I used Wyeast 2308 (Munich Lager)with a 1/2 gallon starter in each carboy (ten gal batch). When is it time to start a D rest by turning the fridge off for a while?
