Even down at 1.002, I've never had a beer that seemed thin or watery at all.

+1. Always has a nice mouthfeel to me @ 1.002ish. I can see building up body slightly but definitely not at the expense of finishing too high. My best saisons finish in the 1.004-1.002 range. Even lower occasionally.

My record low FG is 1.000 with WLP565. Bone dry but no thin/wateriness with that one.

Pitch around 75F and let it free rise to 85F. Hold until fermentation ends and then cut off the heat and let it finish at ambient. Definitely needs a month or two of age to hit its stride at those temps.

I find 3711 too bland at cooler temperatures for my tastes.

Hmmm.  I definitely want the yeast character to be at the forefront with this beer.  I may have to go with the warmer ferment and some aging.

Overall really terrific posts here!

I don't mind waiting when it's over 6.5%, but when I make low gravity saisons I want them ready quickly.

Another thing to watch out for is bitterness. Because the final beer is so dry, excessive bitterness really sticks out. I wouldn't go over 25 IBUs.

I had the same thought.  Then couple that with the pepper and citrus esters...  20 IBU's planned

+1.  I use 25-ish IBU in my house saison which finishes right around 1.002, and the bitterness is just right (for me).
