Hi all,
Brewed a Saison the weekend and did a no chill (as I struggled to get the temp down when I brewed last month) adding the aroma hop to the cube before filling.
I tipped into FV last night and pitched the yeast at 18C. Quite a bit of trub and hops ended up in the FV and I was considering moving to secondary to get off the hops (I don't normally secondary) as 565 could take a while to finish but worried it would make it more lightly to stall.
I was planning to ramp up the temp from Thurs night.
Does anybody secondary with 565 and if so when? I will be away from day 11 to 20 which is how long I left the first time with this yeast, I'm just worried about the amount of trub and hops it would be sat on at 28C.

565 doesn't stall if you don't use an airlock for the majority of fermentation.
I pitch it at 20 and hold it there for a couple of days before letting it go to whatever temperature it feels like, although the I do tend to ramp the ambient temperature gradually to hit 30c.
Last saison I did hit 1.004 after 5 days from 1.057 and won it's table at the London and South competition.
Coming back to the question... I wouldn't bother with a secondary. Get it fermented as I've described above, then if you have the space stick it in a fridge while you're away to drop the majority of the yeast.

No airlock and it's in the fridge. I'll start ramping up slowly from the morning. Hopefully get there by next Friday.
