    Belgian strong dark using malt extract

    Hey guys, It's been a long time. I'm just getting back into brewing after a long hiatus. My girlfriend surprised me last week by bringing home a kit for a summer blonde ale, and after making it, I guess I have the bug again. I'm currently still using extract and steeping grains, but with a...

    Using dark malt extract vs. light extract and steeping grains.

    Hey guys. So I had a question regarding your experiences using dark malt extract. I currently brew using extract and steeping grains.

    Bad commercial beer?

    Old school saison?

    Does anyone have experience with brewing traditional, low- gravity saisons? It seems like most of the recipes out there are more in the Dupont style, which I love, but I'd like to try something similar to the low-alcohol farmhouse ales originally brewed in belgium (something in the 3-4% range)...
