So my lager was fermenting merrily along at 53* and then my equipment failed overnight. The temp was 66* when I checked this morning. I didn't check the gravity, but I will after I get done with my "honey do's". Fermentation is active so I don't think I'm at the gravity target for lagering yet.
Assuming it's not ready to lager, should I go back to 53* until it's time for the diacetyl rest according to the gravity reading?
Did I just have an accidental rest?
My rest target would have been 57-58, so should I drop to that temp for a few hours and leave it until time to lager? Thanks for the help!
