My weekend is Sunday and Monday. I'm brewing a Railbender Clone from Erie Brewing. I couldn't find a recipe anywhere so I e-mailed the brewery and they sent me the exact recipe for a 5 gal batch! Those guys are awesome!

I'm thinking about doing a Saison soon. I'm wondering if wrapping the fermenter in a blanket and setting it on a heating vent would give me the temps I need.
dcHokie said:Depending on the heat vent, it certainly might. Last summer, I used a far more ghetto but effective approach: put the fermenter in a guest bedroom, wrapped it in a down blanket and then a heavy fleece jacket, put a few lamps in the room w/ 100 W incandescent bulbs and no shades, put a towel under the door, room got up to about 90 and the fermenter about 85 or so, IIRC.
I'm planning on an extract kit from northern brewers of the Chinook IPA on Saturday. This is my first batch in 2 years so wish me luck.
