If your feeling adventurous maybe a mint julep ale? If not, then an Irish red ale would probably be pretty nice seeing how the Irish influenced Kentucky and the derby so much...

1. the oxyclean bottles should be fine your just going to have to rinse them very thoroughly to get that white film off of them. Next time don't soak them as long...like only a day or so. 2. It's all up to you. Do you want your Saison to be very carbonated like champagne? If so, add more...

I doubt it will affect future batches if you do a halfway decent job at cleaning up. Never had a bottle bomb so I'm no help there. This is what I do: 1. don't reuse your bottles more than 3 or so times. 2. Soak bottles in oxy clean and water solution over night. Rinse very thoroughly...

I change around every month of so. Favorite this month is Flying Dog Gonzo. Last month was Trappistes Roquefort 8. Month before that was Dogfish Punkin' Ale (which is damn hard to come by). I had a t'smije guido the other day. Very interesting. If any of y'all pass through baton rouge...
