Hello I read that yeast need a diacetly rest. My ? is how would one do a D-rest for an ale yeast? Do you just let it ferment for a week an then raise the temp an hold it there for 2 to 3 days ?

Yes, exactly. Start it low, then let it warm up toward the end of fermentation.

Hi Kent,

I use this yeast all the time, and I always raise the temp up 4 degrees or so once the krausen starts to drop a little. I usually ferment it at 64 and then bring it up to 68 to finish out. I've always had nice clean ferments with it (in fact, I just got 1st place with it using that profile in a competition).

Good luck,
-Nate
