On this date I started a multi-day creep up of the fermentation temperature to finish fermentation and hopefully eat any remaining diacetyl.

Added 3 oz of medium toast oak cubes to the carboy. Not sure if it will pick up much flavor since such a late addition.
 
Notes

Do a double stepped 2 liter starter on a stir plate with 1.25 cups DME for 24-48 hours, then another 2 liter step up on stir plate with 1.25 cups DME for 24-48 hours.

Primary fermentation @ 55 = 3 weeks
2-3 day diacetyl rest = slow creep up to 66
Rack to keg and lager for 6 weeks at 38-40
