nyone ever used this yeast? I’m writing a Saison recipe and I’m trying to come up with a good fermentation schedule... 568 is a blend of a saison strain and a belgian ale strain. This Saison is going to have an OG of 1.050-1.055, I oxygenate by shaking the carboy. I was thinking that I would pitch at 68 then the next day once fermentation got rolling that I would heat it up somewhere around 85 degrees using a heating pad and sleeping bag. I was thinking of heating it up and letting that ride for about 3 days and then fermenting at ambient temps, transfering to secondary after active fermentation is over, and bottling about 2 weeks later.

I am using it now for the first time. I pitched at 75 but my house is on the cool side right now so it never got over 80 (at 72 now). Its still going pretty good after 6 days so I am letting it do what it wants. I do have a heat belt on the other 5 gallons where I picthed 565. 5/9/2008 2:57:45 PM
