Mine’s down to nearly 1.011 after 3 days, very murky though.

What temp are you fermenting at
Around 23 degrees, I no longer have a fermentation fridge so I’ve had to improvise with this one as my other fermenter is full. I’ve put a brew belt round it attached to an InkBird and wrapped it in some silver foil insulation stuff I’d got lying around.
Mine never got any lower, so not as strong or dry as expecting. As the temps are quite cold atm I’ve let it drop to air temperature at about 7/8 C in the garage and I’m going to keg it tomorrow.
It tastes ok to me, but I have no idea if it’s Saison

Did it not drop any lower than 1.011. strange, what yeast did you use
Nope stopped there. I used CML Saison, used 2 packets just in case, could I have used too much?
I don't mean to boast, but I just bottled mine at 1.001
Need a

I never checked the fg so no idea what it got to but hey it will say saision on the front of the bottle 
I was at 1.005 on Tuesday. I’ll be rechecking it later. It’s rather murky, going to cold crash for a couple of days before bottling.
1.001 tonight, I’ll hold off the cold crash for another 24hrs.
Mine finished at 1004, 7.3%.

Brew day going well so far, I really enjoy brewing a saison. Aiming for a spicy, earthy wort and an OG in the region of 1.060.I'm getting my offering on tomorrow. Hopefully I haven't left it too late.....
Mine’s had 10 days in the keg, might see how it’s coming along later.

Well I thought it was going well! Instead of getting 23L at 1.060ish I ended up with 27L at around 1.055. Not quite sure what happened there, but I'll end up with beer

Just checked my Saison,it must be early 4 weeks in the fermentor. It's at 1.004, time to dry hop and cold crash
I‘m at 10 days in bottle now, was very tempted to chill one and crack it open but I’ll hold off for another week.

Go on, get in amongst it!
Is that something you would normally do with a saison leave it for that length of time?
