My first attempt at a Saison is going well so far. Successfully managed to get good attenuation with WLP565 (gravity = 1.005 after 7 days in the primary; Jamil's BCS recipe). I'm looking for advice on how to handle the beer from this point forward. I was going to give it another week or so in the primary, allowing the temperature to drop back from the current 80 F. to 68-70 F. room temp. Then maybe keg half of it and bottle the other half. It seems that most folks bottle condition their Belgians, and I am interested in following the aging behavior of the beer. Doing this in the bottle rather than tying up a keg for an extended period makes sense. Bottling is such a pain. Could I force carbonate the whole 5 gallons in a keg, and then bottle as much as I want using a beer gun? Is there any disadvantage of doing this vs. traditional bottle conditioning with priming sugar? This would minimize oxygen exposure and give better control over carbonation level. I'm a little concerned about foaming when bottling a highly carbonated beer, but I've had pretty good luck using the plastic mixing elements in the outlet line of the keg to reduce pressure and minimize foaming.
