Hi, i would like to brew this beer... I like the original version very much. I never brewed a Â«saisonÂ», and im not sure how to ferment this recipe. I brewed something like 15 batches of differents beer styles, mostly IPA and APA. I think that the fermentation is the key for the taste. I dont have heat belt, but i have an heat element in my fridge to help attenuate my beers. What temperature should i reach for this style ?

Thanks and Cheers from MontrÃ©al !

I usually start out fermenting at room temperature, whatever that happens to be, and then let it free-rise, applying heat as fermentation starts to slow. Starting at 68F-ish and then ramping up to 80F-ish has worked well for me in the past, but I know that others go much higher.

Nice... And when do you dry hop ? during the fermentation, like day 3-4 ? Thanks !

flexmurphy • 12/20/2017 at 02:42pm
Usually, when fermentation is complete - around the two-week mark - and then I leave it for 3 days before cold-crashing.

Hi again, Thanks for the reply !

Finally, i decided to put the dry hop part only after 1 day of active fermentation (biotransformation, maybe ?). Today i took a reading and the gravity is at 1.008. That is the best attenuation i ever got. Ever if the fermentation is not finished yet, the taste is awesome and i will probably dry hop again right in the keg.

Thanks again for the recipe !
