Hey everyone,
I have a few years of brewing under my belt, but I have never tried to brew a saison and I love that style of beer. I was thinking of doing a dry, slightly peppery and citrus version with maybe some hop presence to it as well since I am a hop head. Either way, it doesn't have to be hoppy. The real question I have though is the yeast. I see in the market that Wyeast and white labs have saison yeast but I also see that Safale has one too, the Safale BE-134. Has anyone used this yeast, if so I would love some feedback. I tried searching the forum, but didn't get the answers I was hoping for. Also, what is the communities thoughts on which yeast to use. I usually pitch 2 packets of Safale s-04 and that never lets me down, which is why I was so curious about the BE-134. Thanks.
