Also, I'm not sure I'm understanding the diacetyl test where one sample is heated. I am using plastic fermenters with spigots and usually 12-13 days after brewing I will closed-transfer the beer from fermenter to keg. Wouldn't I just be able to grab a small sample though the spigot and give it a smell & taste test? I can absolutely detect diacetyl. Is the heated-sample method meant for people who have a harder time picking it up?
Also, when I move my fermenter from fridge to the basement floor, I typically rouse it at that time and then let it settle for a week and then transfer. I have a pale ale that I took out of the fridge on Friday and I roused it then. I roused it again yesterday and then again this morning... gently. I would typically transfer this beer Thursday or Friday of this coming week and then brew with that harvested yeast again over the weekend. I will grab a small sample prior to transfer and check for the big D.
