Hi All,
This is my 6th batch, and I took a bit of a hiatus so I'm forgetting:
Do I have to wait until my beer finishes to rack to secondary?
I brewed a yummy (i hope) Farmhouse Saison 3 weeks ago using Saison yeast. The recipe states:
"Take care with the Saison yeasts. They have a curious trait: fermentation looks and acts like it's done, but your gravity reading could be as high as 1.030. Don't rack! Leave it alone for another week or two"
Just to be clear- does this mean no secondary until it reaches 1.01 or close? Isn't three weeks a bit long in primary?
Also to note- We've been letting this one ferment warmer as I was told this is good for Saison. It's been upstairs, staying between 75 and 80 degrees.
Thanks,
Ethan
