Wort chilled to about 75 degrees in about 15 minutes using wort chiller and pre-chiller (in ice bath)
Pitched re-hydrated yeast; fermentation for 14 days at room temperature (75-80 degrees)
Prime and bottle in 14 days.

Due to uniqueness of yeast (and the number of hot months in Florida) going to wash yeast to save for future batches.

Update (8/11/13)
Bottled the saison.

Update (8/20/13)
Tried the saison over the weekend and it was pretty good; spicy with some lemon flavor.
Tried it again today and the spicyness calmed down and the lemon flavor became more pronounced. Need to wait more than 7 days to try the beer.
