Saison is one that people love that I make. It's always asked for. I use Crystal @ 60, 30 and 10. I also add bitter orange peel at 10 minutes.

I have my annual saison in the fermenter right now. Always refreshing on those hot summer evenings. I add bitter orange peel, black pepper, fresh ginger root and fresh sweet orange peel at the 10 minute mark.

I think you posted your recipe before didn't you silverspoons? Pretty sure I printed it out and want to make that soon too.

i added the sugar at 10 min left in the boil:

I'm brewing this one today. Subbing out the hops with Tet for bittering and Rakau for late additions and dry hopping.

Could I lower the alcohol level to the 6ish range by decreasing the amount of grain while keeping the same percentages?

Yup! That'll work.

You may want to lower the 60 min hops too slightly to keep the same bitterness to gravity ratio too, but I don't think it's critical given the reasonably low IBU / clean hops.

I brewed this about 12 days ago. Mash efficiency on this system keeps improving, up to 88% now. I kept all the percentages the same but lowered the amounts so I could have 6.5% beer. I ferment in a ssbrewtech bucket inside a converted refrigerator/fermentation chamber so I can really keep an eye on the temp during fermentation. Fermentation did start off nicely in the beggining however it's been very slow and sluggish lately. I have slowly increased the temp to about 95. My last gravity readings corrected is 1.018 at 12 days. At what point do you think I might need to add another yeast to fully attenuate it, or should I try to be more patient. If I need to add another yeast, should I lower the temp of the wort down from 95 to the 68-70 range before I pitch it? I have some us-05 or Lalvin ec 1118 ready if needed.

I'd be more patient myself. If it completely stalls then consider adding a different attenuative yeast like champagne yeast.

You'd need to go to whatever is best for the yeast you're adding.

This one's going to be nice. Spicy, Dry, and a hint of clove!

4.5 Liter Starter

67F for 3 days > Raised 2 degrees per day for 13 days > Cold Crashed on day 17








Had about an inch of yeasties in the quart jar till I cold crashed. This is what I had the next day!

Mine is finally carbonating in a keg now. It took just over 3 weeks to finish at 1.006. I was hoping for a bit more attenuation but the precarbed sample tasted good!

Just tapped this today. Very tasty! I thought it initially tasted sweet but the FG is 1.005. I retested my hydrometer to make sure my error chart was correct but it's consistent with my previous results. Overall I'm very pleased with it. I had my wife, whom doesn't like beer, sample this recipe and a Dupont and she said they taste very similar so I consider this batch a success!
