Greg Noonan also said that a little DMS will get you that crispness that you find in alot of lagers. So the DMS rest might have worked but not in the manner that you looking for. That is one reason why I switched over to a CFC since it leaves some of the wort at near boiling for a while longer than an IC would.

Yes, but you don't have to switch over to a CFC for this. Simply don't start chilling immediately.
