Kegged my Helles and cleaned the fermenter. I was able to get super close to the bottom of the cake so my sample didn’t happen. Other than a sip to make sure it finished good and healthy saved 2 liters of slurry for my Marzen next weekend
It will probably not take too long to drop to 68 since you use a fermentation fridge? Maybe just wait till it drops. I haven’t used that yeast in a few years. I did ferment at 68 with it.
Off the top of my head that yeast doesn’t typically produce diacetyl especially since you pitched enough of it for your batch and fermented in the temp range which isn’t cold.
Closed off my spunding valve yesterday as fermentation had slowed up and was about 5points from FG. Today as expected hot my number. I’ll put the fermenter in the fridge to crash probably Saturday and keg sometime next week.
