Tomorrow morning, my local homebrew club set up a contest where a bunch of people are going to be attending a brewing session at a local craft brewery.
We are going to be brewing a Belgian Blonde. Once everything is all set, the contestants are going to be taking the finished wort home to do whatever they want with it to make it a unique beer (ie. yeast, dry hopping, adding sugar etc)
I have had the end product they are making on numerous occassions. It is more a nice beer, but a bit lacking IMO. Very light, not too high of ABV. Unfortunately, I do not know what the OG is going to be.
Since i really love saisons, I wanted to ramp this beer up by using Wyeast 3711 or 3724 and adding a lb of sugar near the end of fermentation, and then dry hopping with an oz of cascade to give it a nice floral nose.
Any suggestions from anyone?
