Plenty of buckets but only one fridge for fermentation. Maybe we'll do some uncontrolled fermentation this time...

Okay thanks! I'll just wait another week, take another measurement and maybe wait a little longer. I was hoping to brew again next week but I guess that's out the window.

I brewed a strong Saison three weeks ago. Now I was planning to cold crash and lager for one week before botteling at the end of week four. I started reading a lot about the yeast, Lallemand Belle Saison, and I started to worry about bottle bombs. A lot of you reach 1,001 or lower using this...

Okay thanks! I'll skip the secondary. I have about 2.8 oz. Centennial so that seems doable.
