  I think you will have problems with attenuation. If it's still at 1.020 after several weeks
  then It's probably stuck and or done. Most Belgian yeast will quit working if it gets cold.It
  may be sweeter...

  Saison yeast is a bugger. If you are in a hurry, maybe try adding a bit of champagne yeast to
  finish it off? Or get the temp back up and hope for the best.Right now, I'm considering
  bottling it in cha...

  It may be sweeter then the style and the flavor should be fairly clean. Less fruity, more

  I started a Saison several weeks back (meant to brew it in late summer), and the temp in my
  cellar dropped drastically, to 62 F. Now, it did most of it's fermentation and has dropped to

  I noticed a small (1 inch) scorch on the inside of our relatively new (3 brews) enamel pot --

  So I am going to pitch a pseudo hoegaarden clone on top instead.Hey Revvy,Can you share the

  I would go to VT Homebrew in Winooski and ask Anne what she thinks. I think that it is pretty
