Thanks for the links!
It's hard to convince some of these heathens that there is a point to decoctions. ;)

Welp, here we are five full days into fermentation. Festbier is now at d-rest temps, and tonight, I boiled a little table sugar and dumped the solution into each of the Belgian blondes - enough to kick the SG up nine points.
The buckets look identical right now, and both smell like Belgian goodness!

Woah, five days from brewing and you're at d-rest? What yeast? That seems crazy fast. Not saying it's wrong, I'm just amazed.

Fast lager process, no? Using wlp820.

Interesting. White Labs says in the first generation 820 is slower than 830. I've never pushed 830 that fast, but I suppose it's possible to do so.
Did you take gravity readings to adjust your temps or go by feel/eye/intuition?
