I'm a little stuck
Currenty no temperature control except for a duvet lined cooler box.
Min temp 11, max 31 oC in the next couple of days.
Do you all think BRY 97 will be able to cope?
Minimum in the cooler will probably be 18-20 oC, but max might be too high

BRY-97 is pretty forgiving, but I’d be uncomfortable going to 24-25C, let alone beyond that. Good luck.

Those are just weird temps
25 at nght 35 + daytime (oC) is easy.
Full on kveik Voss temps.
I've organised another fridge and then my old one gets promoted (demoted) to ferm fridge. But it will take a while till I get the new 2nd hand one here.

Brewed the Kentucky Common
Switched to a basket from a bag.
Missed my numbers by a few points. I may have to adjust my grind.

I did manage to wake up at 5AM, brew a 5 gallon Saison, do yard work, clean, and get laundry started. I probably won't make it very late tonight.
I got lucky this morning. Before the sun came up, it was steamy and muggy as hell. Once the the sun came up. it cleared up with a light breeze, and it didn't get hotter than hell until after 10.
Man, I love that Hellfire. I hit my 148 mash temp right on the money.
I may get something a little more boozy than anticipated. OG was 1.060 @64% efficiency. The dude at the store double crushed my grain
Because it was hot, I couldn't get the wort as cool as I wanted it, but F it, it is a Saison yeast, it won't matter with that yeast.
Holy shit, I just checked on it, and it is definitely active @6hours.

Don't know about the yeast you are using, but the lallemand I used (and the MJ one before) were not fuzzy at all about wort temperature

I think it will be fine too. I'm using the White Labs Belgian Saison I.

This one is going to be a little bit of an experiment. I really liked the way my New England/Hazy Mutt came out with the late addition hops. I wanted to try a bunch of late additions in a Saison. The hops are very traditional in this one though. I did 12 minute additions of Kent Goldings. I did a flameout addition of Saaz, and I have another ounce of Saaz to do as a small dry hop addition.
26 IBUs, but 5 1/2 oz of hops. Sometimes playing around is fun

It sounds pretty interesting already. I went a slightly different direction with the French Saison strain I had handy from my Belgian-ish IPA. I went for a WCIPA-ish using the French Saison yeast. It’s resting in the keg now, waiting for me to make some room by finishing off another keg. Like BIIPA, it’s also got rye in it, and I’m hoping it plays well with the heavier hop payload. I feel like that yeast would play really well with a citrusy or juicy IPA.This one is going to be a little bit of an experiment.

Well brewed Blonde on Blonde today, volume was 1/2 gallon heavy, efficiency was 1 point better than expected, gravity was .003 low. Pretty sure it's still well within range for a cream ale. I should really adjust my system loss down .5, the last 3 brews have been over volume.
