Diacytel rest?

[Brycey]

My extract brew is ticking along nicely at 14oc.

My question is will i need to raise temp for diacytel rest( is this the correct term) or will it be ok because i'm going to leave it in primary for 3 weeks then rack to bottle bucket for 2 or 3 day's.

I'm worried about moving it from under my stairs up to the room i normaly ferment in as i can't see how i can move 21l of liquid up a flight of stairs without a lot of splashing!

Thanks

What brew? What yeast?

 

[Brycey]

Saflager s-o4
3kg light dme
250g carapils
60g sazz
30g tettnang

I won't be able to get lagering temps but i'm sure it will be ok.
Just wondering if the yeast will clear up at the low ferment temp.

No such thing! Is it Safale S-04 or a lager yeast?

Sorry
Saflager s-23

I did an extract lager recently with that yeast. The first 24 hours were at 20C, then at 12C for about 2 weeks, followed by 2C for 2 weeks. So no diacetyl rest and it tastes great.
