Looking to do exactly this as I’ll be brewing in the basement & don’t want to add a hood, etc. What other parts were needed for this setup in addition to the steam slayer?

I've done both, but I most often transfer when racking on fruit. I think you'll get the same beer either way.

Use a bottling bucket so you know exactly how much beer you're bottling. There's no way to know the exact amount until it's racked off of everything. Now you know how much priming sugar to add.

Like Everyone has said, kill or limit the crystal and add more hops near the end of boil/flameout.

UPDATE: It was fine to bottle it, no bombs. Tastes great! have been drinking a bottle or 2 every few months and it's only getting better.

Ended up dumping it. Will brew it again this year.

Not sure, this was my first reading, I'll check again before I bottle. I don't have Belgian bottles, I'll risk it.

It’s at a little under 1.000 I think I can bottle. Yea?

Mines been going since 7/29 and I’m moving at the end of the month. Is it too soon to bottle?

Just fill one keg and weigh it compared to the empty keg. You only have to do it once, then you'll know the weight.

Belle saison has never stalled for me. It's one of my fav yeasts. I'd say it's done in a month, for sure.

Yeaaa, no. You'll get much better flavor adding real ingredients instead of pouring a flavored liquor in.

Yea, it sucks! Was looking forward to this one. Now it's gonna be a totally different beer. I'll brew it again at some point.

I'd say use 1 cinnamon stick & 3 vanilla beans to get what you're looking for. I'd also say leave it in secondary for 2 weeks & taste. I rarely leave beers in the secondary for longer than a week or two. I might brew this when the weather starts to turn, recipe looks good. Do you have a pic?
