A week and a half ago, I started fermentation on my batch of Saison using Wyeast 3724. The started gravity was 1.056 and today the gravity is 1.010. The last time I checked it was last weekend and it was at 1.020 and a lot sweeter, since it's dried out by now. My guess is that it's fairly well done attenuating, thanks to the heating pads I've been using. After peeking in the minibrew fermenter, I saw that there's a nice carpet of white foam, not quite krausen, and even some trub that was carried up.
I'm wondering whether or not it's done entirely fermenting, or if the heating pads are just causing dissolved CO2 to rise and form that layer on top. My guess is that it's done, though. But if I can get a general consensus, I'll probably pull the yeast off and let it condition the rest of this week and bottle on the weekend. Thanks, folks.
