Just had a taste of this as I racked it into the secondaries. Really really good! I am really looking forward to Christmas

I have about 10 bottles that I brewed in the 80s, from before I met my wife in 1986. so, 30 years? I opened one a few years ago and it was pretty good. Still carbonated and tasty-given that in those days it was Munton's kits I was surprised and pleased. I have cases of other "old" ones, going...

Brewed this up the other day, hit the numbers nicely. I smoked the wheat portion with a combo of apple and alder. Yeast is from a local craft brewery (Driftwood) that does saison. I scaled it up to a 15 gal batch so in the fullness of time I will report back on the smokiness.

Brewed today using the cottage recipe that I posted above. I smoked the wheat portion (about 10% of total) with apple and alder chips. I will see how it turns out.

This is a crazy long thread so I have not had a chance to read through it all. What I have read makes it sound like a great recipe. I found this while looking for a good base recipe from which to do a smoked saison. I am thinking I would smoke about 10% of the base malk and sub in some citra for...

I had a smoked saison in Portland at burnside brewing that was really good, and thinking how to make one. I was thinking citra for the hops, and www.homebrewtalk.com/f71/cottage-house-saison-254684/index10.html as the rest of it. I would home smoke about 10% of the base malk with cherry or apple...

This is an old thread but I was thinking of brewing a smoked saison also and thought I might see if you had tried it and how it went

brewed a few months ago and boy am I enjoying this! creamy and smooth, sweet but not too much; a touch of nice hops.

Tastes malty and mild, a hint of dark fruit, slight roasty. I usually let brews age, often for months, but this is great after a week and a half. It is better on the warmer side of cold-if I taste it straight from the keezer (34 degrees) it is a slight bit thin. As it warms it becomes richer

Kegged today. The sample was very tasty, I am looking forward to this one! Fg at 1.013, ABV about 4.2 I will post a picture when I have a pint

Ah man! Now I want to make this one again! I am not sure about anything citrus like in it though. A hint of floral might be good. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I have 15 gal. Of this fermenting away, to keg in a week. Looking forward to tasting.

I brewed this up several days ago but I did some violence to the original, mainly because there were it men not available. For a 15 gal batch: 17 lbs marris 1.5 crystal 60 1 crystal 120 8 oz chocolate malt 3.2 black patent 1.25 east Kent goldings (at boil) 1 oz fuggles (1/2 hour) Mash at 156...

It seems like a long time since anyone has posted in this thread. I am planning to brew this on the weekend, and I am wondering if people are still brewing this, and if so what changes they have made? I am thinking of adding a wee bit of Special B to the mix.

Any feedback on how these turned out?
