  At first, no. But it kinda grew on me and I begin picking out other aromas and flavors.

  I took another gravity today. It's at 1.016 today. Would bottling at this point be crazy?
  Slight metallic still present but more smoke noticeable, like a cigarette kinda in aftertaste.

  I would leave the corn sugar out if your intentions for its use is to dry it out. 3711 will
  tear through the grain without it. Expect around fg of 1006 or lower too. Grain bill looks
  nice. I've made 7...

  I have been told by numerous sour brewers/pros that it's fine to dump fruit onto the pellicle.
  It will reform and only really drops with vibrations. I bottle by racking under the pellicle
  too with no ...

  But I used white la...

  Would 1 oz. of the de-bittered black malt be too much? It will get me around 8 srm color, which
  is what I'm looking for.

  Perfect! I have some de-bittered black malt I need to use. The grain bill right now is 5#
  pilsner, 2# Munich, 1/2# flaked wheat. Simple and low gravity.

  Does anyone have any experience or knowledge of adding a very small amount (1 oz or less) of
  roasted barley or even crystal 10 malt to a saison? I'll be using 3711 so I'm not worried about
  poor attenu...

  If you have 3711 handy, I would recommend it since it works well at low temps. I use it around
  the same temp as my pales and IPA's and love the results.
