Decided to do another experiment brew based on the Dave Law's Saison in âUltimate Homebrew Book'
Pretty much kept to it except changed the hops to Citra - well okay didnt really keep to it at all very much but hey it was the inspiration for it :lol:
Grain
Amount Name
5.00 kg Pilsner (2 Row) Ger (3.9 EBC)
0.25 kg Caramel/Crystal Malt - 20L (39.4 EBC)
0.25 kg Wheat, Torrified (3.3 EBC)
Hops
10.00 g Citra [14.80 %] - Boil 30.0 min 10.8 IBUs
10.00 g Citra [14.80 %] - Boil 20.0 min 8.5 IBUs
10.00 g Citra [14.80 %] - Boil 10.0 min 5.1 IBUs
30.00 g Citra [14.80 %] - Aroma Steep 20.0 min 0.0 IBUs
Adjuncts
20g Coriander Seed (Boil 10.0 mins)
10 Anise, Star (Boil 10.0 mins)
2 Orange Peel, Sweet (Boil 10.0 mins)
1 Lemon zest (Boil 10.0 mins)
10g cardamon pods crushed (Boil 10mins)
1.00 tsp Black pepper corns crushed (Boil 5.0 mins)
1.00 Items Whirlfloc Tablet (Boil 15.0 mins)
1.0 pkg Saison (Brewtek #CL-0380)
Grain ready
Wrapped up keeping warm in the mash
Hops are ready
A few adjuncts
Boil started
New cooler coil â just made it that morning â knew I would need it given the weather we had !
The bits in the bottom when the bit I want is out
Trying to get it cool enough to pitch the yeast â got there in the end
Ended up with 21lt to bottle - pre boil gravity was 1042, post boil was 1053, ended up as 1006 to bottle giving 6.2%abv, a bit high but should be nice.
Its in the bottle now and clearing down nicely â quick taste while bottling was very nice, I think the citra hops will work well with the spices etc. Time will tell :)
