Hi guys! I have little experience with saisons, but I've decided to brew one and wouldn't mind having some more experienced brewers give the recipe a look. The base recipe is the strong version of Raison D'Saison from Brewing Classic Styles.
Raison D'Saison 6 gallon
2oz caramunich
8oz buscuit
12oz white wheat
1lb munich
13lb two-row
1lb sugar
0.75oz Pacific Jade (14.2%) 60m
0.25oz Amarillo Gold (10.1%) 30m
0.75oz Pacific Jade (14.2%) 0m
2 vials WLP565
This will be a 90 minute boil and an appropriate starter on a stir plate will be made. OG should be around 1.073.
I've changed the base grain to two-row because I'm in Hawaii and it's much cheaper than pilsener. I upped the amount 0.5 to help make up for the crush at the local store. The biscuit was added to give a little complexity. I've read that this is a good idea when subbing two-row in a saison.
I decided to go with pacific jade because my brewing partner has 1.5oz lying around and it sounds like it would be a fine addition in a saison. I have 1oz of amarillo lying around and thought that a little at the 30m mark might add a little more complexity.
What do you guys think? I can mod the specialty grains easily. I can reduce the amount of pacific jade, but I'd rather not increase as I'm trying to keep my costs down. I have up to an ounce of amarillo. I also have a 0.5oz of willamette, but I didn't feel that would be a good mix.
Thanks for any and all feedback!
