This is my first post and my first attempt at brewing as well. I am in the middle of doing a Vienna Lager. So far the beer has been fermenting for 15 days at 48-49 degrees F in a beer meister. Based on my original and final gravity readings, it appeared it is almost done fermenting. Just today I took it out and set it in my basement (60-65 degrees) to do the diacetyl rest for 3-5 days. My next step was then going to be a cold crash at 40 degrees for a week, then racking the beer into a secondary bucket, adding the corn sugar, and bottling. Then from what I've read, I would leave the bottles at fermenting temperature (48 degrees) for 6 days to do the carbonation, then lager them around 32 degrees for 3-4 weeks. Any input on my process here would be much appreciated!
