So, because I'm cheap I didn't order the Saison yeast with NB's Saison de Noel kit but instead planned to use the yeast cake off a Black IPA I will be brewing soon.
My plan is to pitch two packs of US-05 in the ~1.075 OG IPA, let it ferment for 3-4 weeks then transfer it to secondary and pitch the Saison de Noel onto the yeast cake.
I know...this is blasphemous to the Saison style and I should have done more research beforehand, but will the US-05 bed be able to take the Saison/Ale hybrid down to a low FG?
Should I try to increase temperature over time to be able to take the gravity down around the 1.005 +/- .003 range?
