I actually didn't add the cane sugar yet either, was going to wait until it starts to slow down and then add it. I figured I would use this as a jump start if it starts to stick since it seems to be an issue with this yeast.
The hot break was huge in this batch and really coagulated, looked strange while boiling. Only put 5 gallons of crystal clear wort into the fermenter, got tired of trying to strain break material. Color was exactly what I was shooting for.
Excited about this one! Had my first Saison a few weeks ago and knew I had to have a batch ready for summer!
