Jay Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Sometimes I do things because I've read them somewhere on a blog. Then months and month's later a tad more experience makes me wonder again why the hell I've been doing it. So. I always do a Diacetyl rest with my lagers/pilsners. But I always bottle which means the beers sits at pretty much Diacetyl rest temps for 2-3 weeks. So am I wasting my time doing one when perhaps it happens in the bottles anyway whilst carbonating? would love to clear that one up.

Hairy Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 PB2 has often said that there is no need to do a D-rest in primary if you are bottling, as the D-rest is happening in the bottle. Try it and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted January 19, 2016 Author Share Posted January 19, 2016 Cheers Hairy, if PB thinks so I'm inclined to believe it. Anyone disagree? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnaman Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 If PB2 said so I'm inclined to believe it. Anyone disagree? Jay' date=' someone will always disagree, that doesn't make them right, only disagreeable. [img']wink[/img] Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 I don't disagree with it, but I still did/do it in the primary anyway. It's a part of my fermentation schedule though, using the Brulosopher's quick lager method. Of course now that I'm kegging most of a batch I kind of have to do it in the primary... but yes it can be done in the bottle as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
