It's my first time using Dupont yeast. I brewed a saison, OG of 1052 and pitched a 1L starter of 3724, which I let go for about 24 hours on a stir plate. The plate kicked the stir bar some time overnight, so the growth may not have been what I was expecting.
I started fermentation at 74 until I got krausen, about 24 hours, and increased it to 90 over the course of the next few days. After 10 days, it's slowed way down, and is sitting at 1030. I swirled the carboy and increased the temp to 95.
I don't want to pitch another yeast. I'd like to let the primary strain finish out. I don't mind waiting a while for it to finish. What I am worried about is having it sit at 95 deg. for weeks. Is that a problem? Do I need to worry about autolysis more at this sustained high temperature?
