I am reading the recipes and find most recommending to ferment @ 20. Don't be scared to crank it up wyeast recommend 18-25 c
I fermented my last one on a heat pad without temp control just let it go, that was using Wyeas French Saison.
Don't be scared to cold condition it as the yeast is low flocculating so it can stay cloudy for a while.
 
I did a sweet potato saison a few months back just to try something new.
4kg. Marris otter
500gr golden promise
150gr biscuit
110gr acid malt
3kg sweet potato half boiled and mashed
The other half grated and baked till caramelised
And added to the mash
10g of Amarillo and
25g of fuggles at 60 min for bittering
200g of lactose during boil for body and sweetness
Used white labs Belgian saison yeast blend 568
Was tricky to ferment out but finishes well in warmer temps.
Bit of a random combination there but it has aged very well and the sweet potato does come through,nice orange colour and holds a head well. low bitterness of 22 ibu .
One of my earlier BIAB jobs, just was enjoying playing with other adjuncts
Was not sticking to any style guideline, the Belgian yeast gave it a little spice.
