    Saison yeast question

    Some season yeasts will ferment, go quite , and start up again (3724, 565) but I have not heard of 3 mons. I like the WY3711 and ferment starting at 62F and finish at 74F. I usually ferment for 3weeks.

    Wyeast 3724 Belgian Saison First Timer

    "In ND we will be 80-90 during the day and upper sixties at night." You want to reduce the dgree of temp swings as much as possible - if you can keep the temp consistent at the lower end, go for it

    SMASH with Pilsner and Amarillo

    Pilsner/Armarillo great for saisons. Do the SMASH with WY 3711. SG ~1.052, mash at 150F for 60min, ferment starting at 64F and let free rise to the Low 70's and hold until finished.

    Priming sugar calc.

    I always bottle around 68F and let it carb at that temp. Measure by weight not volume so you can dial in you carb levels.

    Belgian session ale maturation time

    With most of my belgians including low alc (4-4.5) its minimum 2wks in primary usually 3wks and two weeks to bottle carb. My low alc versions they are usally best at 1-2 months. (since I have no patience two months is usually my last bottle.) The 570 & 1388 are great fermentors but lousy...

    Fermentation slowing down too early

    "was supposed to get to 1.018 by this time." With belgians i have found there is no "supposed to" for final gravity it may go lower. Its a big beer and 1.090 to 1.026 in five 1/2 days is not shabby. I would check it every three days to see if its dropping. I like 530 but it can be...

    If by activity you mean foaming, I have never had foaming while on a stirplate. The only activity I notice is when the color gets more orange juice like. Where in DC are you. I live in Germantown, MD. -Cheers
