Hello,
I have a 1.075 OG Saison stuck ~1.025. It's been 3 weeks at high-temps, ~80-85F since pitching. I want to throw in some american ale yeast to dry it out.
Question: Is it absolutely necessary to move the temp down to 70F or does really matter? I suspect the answer is "yes," but I'm...
My daughter is in charge of the labels. The last batch (a stone levitation ale clone) was officially named "girl's club rules" with a custom decorated label on each bottle.
Just finished the last bottle of my 3 Gallon all grain batch from this recipe. Summary thoughts:

OG 1.75, now I am stuck right fore the finish line and thinking of a small re-pitch with some leftover dry yeast. I transferred to a seconary already (which may have been unwise). Have read that very hard to get gravity down in secondary carboy. Hydrometer says 1.2 but it tastes very sweet. Any...
