Citra saison sounds super interesting
Yeah, also throwing a little beech smoked malt into it, should be very interesting
I was a little disappointed as I had to go with Wyeast Belgian Saison, but I wanted the French Saison as I understand it's easier to work with, the belgian like 30 degrees which might be hard at this time of year. But it was free since its a bit older, I'll just create a starter for it.

French Saison ios a bit of a pain to work with as well. Although it'll eat through everything!that Brown Saison I gave you awhile back had 3711 in it, and I mashed at 68ish and it went down to 1.008.
The belgian will probably end a bit higher than that.
Any chance of a bottle of this when it's done? lol.

I like saison and I like cotta hops so how could it be bad. Lol.
Cotta Hops?

*Citra
Is cotta some code for citra or was it just an auto correct fail

Might need to check mine. I have a feeling its still a little to cold for them to sprout in the mighty Manawatu...

1.186 after adjusting for the temp. Got 19Litres and it's the best efficiency I've ever gotten of 73.5%. Yeast started bubbling within hours of going in
What FG you aiming for?
1.05ish

Holy crap! That's a strong beer! Congrats bro!kiwirevo said:
You missed the perfect opportunity to put a cape on a beer!
Haha, true, although I have only labelled 5 so far, as I've been tinkering with it.

where'd you get the label maker?
Warehouse stationery, $100, then a 30m continuous roll was $50, apparently some come with a 8m continuous roll, but mine came with std address labels.
The software is reasonably straight forward, apparently it also prints pictures, all in black and white of course

Wow that's quite sometime. Did u use 3711?kiwirevo said:
It takes aaaaaages to drop out how's the gravity reading
My 3711 saison took 3 weeks to hit FG, left it for another week. Ended up about 8%.kiwirevo said:
Ok, I won't worry about it too much then. Might transfer and dry hop it soon though

Yeah I wouldn't worry. Mine took about a week. But it'll be all good it's a monster it'll chew it up.kiwirevo said:

Double batch of pils coming up this weekend/week. Got the week off work, so time to brew for summer.
Very basic recipes - Motueka and Riwaka then in the other brew Riwaka and Motueka. Whichever one wins, becomes the house Pils!
@sockmerchant and @Crusader I'll send you both a tripel when its carbed

Just finished a Styrian Golding Pale Ale SMaSH.
Overshot the OG by a stupid amount, but she'll still be beer!
Giving the Burton Union from Mangrove Jacks a whirl this brew.
