I’ve broken just about every rule of brewing and knock on wood, I haven’t had a problem yet. I’m about to break another one. I have a Grissette that has been in the primary for 3 weeks. I want to use the cake to ferment a Super Saison, but it looks like I can’t brew for another week. How long have you guys left beer on a primary cake without off flavors? Ordering a Bud Lite at a Brewpub is like going to the Mustang Ranch and paying $1000 to have sex with your wife!

I have exceeded three months in the primary without any problems. I thought the Mustang Ranch was out of business years ago. Has it been revived? |

I have left batches on the primary cake for over a couple months and have had no problems. |

Just to make sure, you could rack the beer (assuming you have another fermenter) and save the yeast in the fridge, or cool the beer way down just to slow all the processes down. |

I racked a biere de garde too early from a primary to a secondary in April, it was fermenting actively at 58-62°F in my basement until a month ago. Its still in the same secondary, I have just been too lazy to rack it to a tertiary. I'm not too worried, though. |

I never heard of Grissette, either, until I bought the Farmhouse Ales book this summer. Some sort of a saison, I recall. |

Grissette or “Gray Lady” named after the grey uniformed women who served it is a Saison that was served to the miners who worked the mines of northern France. Sadly, the Mustang Ranch was padlocked in August of 1999. Damn Revenuers. It was the only brothel I could think of that people would know what I was talking about Ordering a Bud Lite at a Brewpub is like going to the Mustang Ranch and paying $1000 to have sex with your wife!
