I couldn't resist taking a picture while grilling tonight.
The Danstar packet says .388 oz., I just bought one. They were waiting for a truck to come in at the brew store, so they were missing a few things. They are closed on Mondays and apparently had quite the weekend. I often find myself changing things on the fly, sometimes because something is out of stock and sometimes just because. This should be fun.
Grain Bill:
8.5lb 2-row
1.5lb american wheat
.5 caramunich
.5 flaked oats
1lb Honey (Local Wildflower @ 100 deg.)
Hops:
1oz Zythos 10%AA
2oz Hallertauer 4.5%AA
1.5tsp. black pepper
Gonna brew me up a batch of this today! Very excited for a first saison
is this beer gonna be balanced or more on the hoppy side?
I just got done brewing this and realized I forgot the oats. How important do you think it is to the mouthfeel. I know it's only a half oz , but I'm worried it will be to thin or watery.
Verrrry nice, I'm packing the house into a uhaul to move from AZ to IL, no beer in the house,
I could really use a beer like that! It would hit the spot after a long day of packing a truck!!
Welcome to IL!
Hey everyone,
I made essentially this beer recently, and it's been in bottles for just about three weeks. Should I crack some open, or does it improve significantly after a few more weeks of conditioning?
Why thank you! I'm in carol stream for the moment, looking for a house to get into out here
I'm just east of you in Villa Park... tiny village in between Lombard and Elmhurst. My neighbor abandoned his house earlier this year... you could probably just take that one...
Seriously, though, if you're unfamiliar with the area and need any tips/advice, just give me a shout!

AZscoob,
I'm going to try this for my first all grain batch. You recommend doing to sparges. Does that mean for each sparge you should be doing 1/2 of the 3.5 gallon sparge volume?
Thanks
Brewed this over the weekend with some small changes: all Willamette hops and zest from 1 lemon in the last 5 minutes. Efficiency was good and ended up high on the OG - 1.068. Really excited to see how this one turns out! Thanks for the recipe.
Supergus said:I want to thank the OP for this recipe... I won my first competition with this recipe! I changed it a little, I did not use the ground pepper, used a local clover honey, and changed to Belle Saison for the yeast.
This beer not only won the category, it also won Best of Show!!

Belle Saison and took my OG 1070 down to 1002 ]
Brewed this 2 weeks ago with a few modifications: Willamette instad of Fuggles and WLP565 yeast.
Stole a sample for hydrometer testing yesterday. Holy Damn! This may very well be one of the best beers I've ever brewed. I can't wait to keg this.
Thank you for the recipe.
How's the flavor of belle saison? Funky? Spicy? Fruity?
