I used that yeast, pitch at 68* and ramped it up to 85* over 7 days. Made a really tasty Saison. Heat won't hurt that yeast, brings some nice flavors into play.

I am at day 14 today. Not sure if it is going to help at this point.

If it was Belgian Saison yeast and it was stuck, then it would.

With the Bella, I can't imagine your not "done" already at day 14, unless your temps got so low the yeast went wonky.

I agree. It was very active the first 3 - 4 days. I did Not have time to bottle it yesterday, hope to get to it this weekend.

Bottled this one today. Sample was great, Grapefruit was dominate flavor. Should be great right around the begging of July.
