- Tasting Notes
- Pours a beautiful brown Colour with good off white head, that sticks around.
Considering this finished at 1.008 its soooo creamy, and has an almost vanillahint with the chocolate and carafa in the mix.
I took an existing saison bill and darkened it, very tasty, with age it'll be even better. as i've tasted it only after 2 weeks. the grist is as follows:
3kg Light LME
0.5kg Rye Malt
0.25kg Vienna
0.2kg Chocolate
0.2kg Cara-pils
50g Carafa Special II
0.5kg Wheat DME- Last 15 Mins of Boil
hops:
14g Nelson sauvin (11.1%) @ 60
10g Saaz (2.9%) @ 60
45g Saaz (2.9%) @ 10
45g Saaz (2.9%) @ 0
Dryhop: 14g Nelson Sauvin (11.1%)
3711 Yeast.
If I were to do this again, I would removed the Rye Malt and replace it with 0.2kg of Special B, to remove some of that booziness, and give it some sweeter dark flavour. I'd also move the 10g Saaz to Dryhop, and use the 10g Nelson Sauvin.
i hope you enjoy this recipe, I know I have and I'll be re-brewing as per my changes, later in the year for the NZ NHC2013.
