Good thinkingHow about adding some flake to get that mouth feel you are looking for without sacrificing a style that finishes to sweet? This would sorta trick your pallet into thinking the beer is not as dry as it really is. I did this with my session NZ Pils posted in the recipe section.

I halt fermentation on all my ciders without use of chemicals. Check gravity often, and rack often, if you want to retain sweetness. Hit with gelatin if things get out of hand, then rack again, and again. And cold crash. All these things in concert get me the residual sweetness in my ciders that I desire, otherwise if left untouched they would all go down to 0.992-0.994 which is very very dry.
I don't see why you couldn't try the same thing with beer if you really wanted to. When gravity is about 5-10 points higher than you want, hit with gelatin, rack and cold crash, wait a couple days, and do it all again if you want final gravity to finish higher than normal. It *could* be done. Should it? That's a whole 'nother question.

I would worry about the purposeful halting of beer fermentation causing off flavors. I always assumed during the late stages of fermentation the yeast was cleaning up fermentation by products.

Yeah man, just brew it how it sounds good in your head, just let the yeast do its thing. The last thing you want is a bunch of acetaldehyde messing up your vision

Well, she's mashed in right around 150. Good night fellas, see you around 6am.
How did the rest of the session go? What was your starting gravity?

IIRC the amylase enzymes work better at pHs of 5.6-5.9 so if you have no pH comtrol on your pale beers that MAY have something to do with it.Saturday went well and despite my concerns I hit higher than the estimated 1.047 - 1.054. For some reason when I make 'yellow' beer I always increase efficiency. Bother fermenters are chugging away. With the additional gravity, I'm thinking two things at this time. 1. There's enough malt to dry out the Saisons and leave desired body. Next 'yellow' batch I can cut down on my grain bill.
