High temp during fermentation for too long?

Post by Norik » Tue Nov 08, 2016 12:10 am

I'm about to set my first saison style brew tomorrow.
The plan is to start it off at 20C and raise the temp to 30C over a week, and then keep it their for a week at least. However I'm likely to have to go away for a couple of weeks before the end of that.

Will it do any harm to leave the beer at 30C for and extended duration in primary?

I could always keep the temp high for as long as possible, then leave it to free drop while I'm away.

Beer is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my Beer.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the Beer has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.

I've not used Belle Saison, but I typically keep WLP565 at 28c for 2 weeks or so with no adverse effects.
