I have found all the threads on Wyeast 3724 saison to be very helpful.
Mine started within 11 hours, airlock activity quit within 24 hours, I kicked it out to my shed (90 degrees) brought it back in, put it in an Igloo Ice Cube with a heat blanket, kept the temp at 85-90 degrees, and it reached 1.008 in just 12 days! This was my target FG. At this point I saw no bubbles on top so I racked it to the secondary. It tasted so good at this point I can't wait until it's done!
Anyway, the ambient room temp it 78 degrees, cooler than my primary fermentation. The day after I racked it to the secondary I started getting a bubble a minute in the airlock. It's been 9 days now and it's holding strong to one bubble every 2 minutes. I am guessing since it is cooler than primary and it's been so long, this is not just CO2 being released, right? (How low will it go!)
I don't want to bottle too soon, but I'm not sure how much lower it can get since I already met my target FG. If I bottle it and I still have some AL activity how much of a chance am I taking of getting bottle bombs at this point?
