The high today is 50, and the low tonight is 31. No chance for rain. All signs point towards me trying a spontaneous ferment tonight. I'm going to cool directly in my kettle and have it wrapped to slow cooling. We'll see. At worst I waste $13 worth of ingredients and a few hours. At best I have awesome beer.

I have read that this method is your best bet for doing a spontaneous fermentation at home.

I was wanting to do this with a small starter wort when it gets down to sub 30's weather. How'd it end up going?

Bottled "conFIGuration" yesterday (named by my nephew). Farmhouse saison refermented on 4 lbs of puree'd turkey figs, blended with 1 gallon of my farmhouse saison mixed culture (original batch brewed march 2016, dregs propped up from that batch in a 1 gallon glass jug), then dry hopped with 3 oz. of Nelson Sauvin hops.
