70 bottles of beer in the hall
Wednesday, March 12th was the day. Somehow the Super Saison finally got bottled up! I could hardly believe it. Nearly 6 months to the day since cold conditioning began. I did it in one day in two sessions. One in the morning, and one in the afternoon. I nabbed out the 3711vss French Saison strain that I used to make Jib, and started it 5 days before to make sure that it was alive. I primed it at about 2.8-2.9 volumes. I believe there was still a decent amount of CO2 still in the beer from the gas that was in the headspace during Lagering. It is incubating now upstairs all cuddled in a blanket and heating pads at about 80 degrees. Schnuggy! With the tiny sample I pulled out and carbonated with the carbonator cap, I can see that while it wasn't overly 'hot' when it went in, it certainly had been tamed. And appears now to be dangerously consumable.
