I recently brewed a saison and failed to really research it properly before embarking on this adventure. Any rate, after two weeks in primary and another two in secondary my gravity had come from 1.058 (OG) to 1.030.....my initial thoughts on this were that my mash temps were a bit high(156) and that I probably just extracted too many unfermentables. I bottled the beer and it has been bottled for a couple weeks now at 70'ish.
But after reading a few posts and speaking with some of the other brewers at work concerning Saison and how ferment temps should be in the 80-85 range and a couple weeks in primary and secondary, I began to really question if I had just made 48 grenades instead. I popped one open this morning and was suprised at just how carbonated the beer has become; to say ridiculous would be an understatement. I poured some into the test-tube for gravity reading and I am waiting until it goes flat to take a reading.
I put the remaining bottles into my beer fridge in the garage so that if anything decides to pop it will at least be contained to the fridge and garage vice the interior of the house. I wonder if I should let them ride, drink up or re-cap the bottles every couple of weeks......help!
So I'm here to ask for advice, I know the next time I'll not make the same mistake.
