The sour saison at 1.028 gravity is only going to get more sour and the blueberry at 1.001 isn&#8217;t going to do much more so if I want more sweetness, I could add some DME up to 1.010 or just add some blueberry extract to sweeten things up but I&#8217;m going to do neither and just keg it. I also did a test today of the 3% Maple Sap beer that will receive some Apple-Flavored Extract in the keg. It took 7 days to completely ferment down to expected FG so I&#8217;m cold crashing that as well and will keg all of these on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"  alt=\"IMG 4383\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  width=\"450\"  height=\"600\"  border=\"0\"  class=\" pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-pk-src=\"http:\/\/adam-jackson.net\/beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/IMG_4383.jpg\" ><\/p>\n<p>For now, cooling down these beers to legging \/ yeast cake temp requires fully emptying out my kegerator.
