A few weeks back it seemed like there were more than a handful of us doing Saisons... anyone try theirs yet?
I bottled mine today with about 4 oz of corn sugar. Went from about 1.048 down to around 1.015, using wlp565 (so I got 68% attenuation for a range of 65-75% it seems?). It spent 3 weeks in primary. Seemed to taste pretty yummy, though a little sweet. It's really cloudy though, guess we'll see what it looks like coming out of the bottle.
I don't think the recipe I followed ended up with an official Saison - according to Beer Alchemy the color is too dark. It's also the first recipe I've followed after doing 5 previous pre-packaged-kit-brews.
How are all yours doing?
