Anyone used something other than orange blossom honey for this recipe with good results?
How about this one? http://www.homebrewsupply.com/honey-1-pound.html
Im probably going to try to find some locally sourced OB honey

It's really a great beer. Not sure why it's so remarkable, as a saison is a simple recipe and one is pretty much like any other, but this one is my go to in the spring. Heck, it's my go to year round.
Brew it as is and you can always add something in secondary if you feel like you need it! I really enjoyed this recipe.
Is everyone doing a 90 minute boil with the pilsner malt?

Babaganuj - are you talking about brewing the original recipe?

So, I plan on doing this batch on Sunday. I started a 750ml starter last night, left it on the stirplate all day, and I get home and it doesn't seem like its been fermenting much? Compared to my last yeast starters, it has pretty much no little white particles flying around. However that being said I just stopped the stirplate, left it on its own for 15mins and now that I look back I have a thick layer of yeast at the bottom...so I guess I'm alright? Maybe the yeast just really blended well with the wort?
Look forward to trying out this recipe...
I just brewed this yesterday and hit every single number spot on. Was a perfect brew day! Can't wait to keg this soon!
Started fermentation at 68F last night and it has been going nuts today. Plan ramp it up into the 70's after 2-3 days and try to get high 70's. Is this a sufficient schedule or should I wait longer to ramp it up?
I just did a starter a few days ago and it was the same. 3711 starters don't show much action compared to other strains.

I brewed this about 9 weeks ago, and finally opened a bottle last night. The brew spent 5 weeks in primary (my usual time is 4 - 6 weeks) and 4 weeks carbing in the bottle. According to my wife, this is the best beer I have made in the past 6 or so years. It really is good.
I will be brewing this again soon.
This is my favorite kind of feedback!
I need to brew this again, once spring gets a better foothold in Chicagoland.
This thing is fermenting like crazy... I dropped the temperature down at 68 overnight, and its still bubbling non-stop. Nothing blew off luckily, the blow-off tube seems to be doing its thing. I will leave it at 68 for 1-2 weeks and raise it afterwards, although I suspect it'll be done fermenting in a week at this speed!
I don't know if I'd drop the temperature if I were you. It's pretty clean at 68 and, personally, I like my Saison more funky.
Mine went strong for 4-5 days and slow bubbling (1-2 a minute) for another 2 days. I'm on day 8 now and I will be racking it to a keg on day 15. Can't wait to taste this it has been smelling amazing!
My only complaint is that I am going to have to let the temperature fall. After day 3 I ramped it up in the bath tub holding it at 78-80 for a few days but I am about to leave town and gonna have to let it fall to room temperature around 68F.
Shouldn't affect much at this point since fermentation is probably a point or two from done right?
Is there any reason I would want to let this do a 3 week primary like my other ales?
