Hi folks,
So last saturday I brewed up Saison Buffoon, from Radical Brewing. As I live in Vancouver, British Columbia, I am used to brewing on damp, if not rainy days. We have been having a heat wave here, which is one of the reasons for brewing the saison. I have always used the default evaporation rate in BIABacus, with excellent results, however this time, being 30 degrees out and bone dry, I seemed to have missed the mark and I managed to brew 4.5 gallons of beer with an o.g. of 1.082 instead of 6 gallons of 1.060 beer. Whoops! With my toddler pulling on my leg, I threw caution to the wind and pitched my Belle Saison dry yeast. It's now 4 days later and I am already at 1.014 on my massive saison.
My question for you all would be; Is this something I should try and tamper with at this point, or should I just call it a triple and relax? I would have loved a bigger batch of a smaller summer drink, but I'm not sure what I can do at this stage.
Thanks.

. Anyway, I think the easiest thing in your situation would be to bottle etc as is but also when you go to drink it, try is 'neat' and also try it watered down with some 'soda water'. (Not sure if soda water is what you cal carbonated water in the states). That will give you two 'different' beers and be the easiest and least limiting way to go I reckon.
