What should I do with 5 gallons of my Rye Saison?

wedge421 · Aug 13, 2012

I brewed 10 gallons of a rye saison and fermented with WL 3711. I dont want to keg all 10 gallons of it so I was thinking about splitting it up and experimenting with 5 gallons. I was thinking about throwing it on some mangos and seeing what happens. Id like to maybe sour it some how. Just looking for suggestions as to what you think I should do. This is a just a fun little experiment to see how it comes out.

I'd take the other half and pitch some brett into it. Brett saisons are delicious!

Its finished at 1.006 is there enough sugar left in their for Brett?

Secondary with in-season local produce. Go hit the farmers market for ideas.

Adding a bit of maltodextrin is fairly typical for this application.

I like the brett idea... haven't tried it myself yet but would like to. If you wanted to go with something less drastic, I'd dry hop it with some really citrus-y hops, like Centennial, Citra, or even Cascade. I did Cascade in one gallon of my last one just to experiment and it made a huge difference from the non-dry hopped version, I really liked it.
