Notes

Brewed on 6/10/2017:

Mash grains at 152F for 60 min. Taste wort
Boil wort for 60 minutes. Added 3 lb of honey at flame out.

Pitch 750 ml yeast starter of Wyest 3724 Belgian Saison yeast.

Bubbling at 51 seconds - clearly not done gassing.
Checked gravity on 6/22/17 - 1.022

6/22/2017 Rack the beer from the primary into the secondary, then
added yeast energizer, 1.5 lbs of roasted rhubarb and 3 lbs (1/2 pureed, 1/2 crushed) strawberries in a grain bag and weighed it down with a glass.

6/28/17
Checked gravity and mouth feel
gravity 1.0012 so almost there
still fizzy transferred to tertiary bottling bucket to get off the fruit. still foamy
More time

7/2/2017
FG 1.012 adjusted for 77F
Approximate ABV at bottling: 6.8%
Bottle fermentation may raise it to around 7%

Time to bottle

Beer advocate says - "The bottle carbonation process is a controlled fermentation of ... especially highly carbonated saisons, the abv goes up about .2 - .4 % abv."

Fruit Iambic 3.0 - 4.5 volumes which translates to DME: 8.8 oz.

This batch produced 5.7 gallons with minor loss including a snapped bottle neck

Yield in containment:
44 12 oz bottles
6 22 oz Craft Brew bottles
4 16 oz Grolsch bottles
2 1/2 liter bottles

They should be ready to drink by
July 16

OG 1.061
FG 1.01
Volume: 5.7 gallons
Adjusted ABV 6.9% plus the bottling DME will bring the ABV just above 7.2

I have tried a couple of these before and always have a hard time getting the left over fruit mush out of the beer, even when I use hop bags, etc. Any secrets to doing the secondary?
