    Beer in Belgium

    The Gruut brewery in Ghent is a nice little stop and it’s not far from the castle there. Definitely worth the stop. They brew beer with gruit instead of hops. Make sure to talk to the assistant brewer Laurens , he’s a cool guy.

    Saison ferment and keg advice

    I would second the advise above , I let mine sit on the yeast at about 72 for a month and it turned out great. Just give it a little bit of time to finish cleaning up.

    How to brew regularly without having a warehouse of beer on hand?

    I brew 10 gallons a month , usually give away half and then drink about 1 a day , friends / neighbors always help me finish off my 5 gallons. Drinking 5 gallons is easy if you only drink 1.5 beers a day

    High Temp Fermentation - Saison

    I did my last one at 64 for 3 days and then raised it 5 degrees per day till I hit 75 where I held it . I raised it to 80 right before fermentation was done and then cold crashed and bottled . Turned out great.
