Yeah, five days to d-rest is fast even for my low gravity fast-lagers, but good on ya for pushing the limits!

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?

Feel. I've used 820 several times. Honestly, the big starter/nutrient/O2 removes the slow start stuff in my experience. I had a nice Krausen a few hours after pitch this time, for instance.
5ish days is pretty typical for me to go to d rest, even with a normal lager - but I like to go to d rest with a little attenuation left. In the past, gravity readings five days in have been about where I want.

Sounds like this wasn't first gen yeast either, so that matches white labs description.
Sounds like a good yeast. I might have to try it. I'd like some more maltiness in my pils. Maybe even my Vienna, but that might make it too malty, I don't know.
