First post in a long while, got in the mood to brew today, no time or patience to convert grain so I put together this interesting extract brew.
Kentucky Saison
Kettle Volume: 4.92 gal (S.G.: 1.037)
Final Volume: 4.0 gal (S.G.: 1.046)
Ingredients:
3. lb Dry Light Extract
0.5 lb Dry Wheat Extract
0.12 lb Belgian Special B (steeped) ~165 23 min.
1.0 lb OB Honey
Hops:
1.0 oz Crystal (3.2%) - added during boil, boiled 60.0 min
0.5 oz Tettnanger (4.5%) - added during boil, boiled 30.0 min
0.15 oz Amarillo (8.5%) - added during boil, boiled 10.0 min
0.25 oz Tettnanger (4.5%) - added during boil, boiled 10.0 min
? Peaches (fresh/frozen) - added to secondary
? Wild Turkey American Honey w/ special spice - added to secondary
White Labs WLP565 Belgian Saison I
Original Gravity: 1.046
Terminal Gravity: 1.012
Color: 10.7 °SRM
Alcohol: ?
Bitterness: 25.2
Guideline
1.048 - 1.065
1.002 - 1.012
5.0 - 14.0
5.0% - 7.0%
20.0 - 35.0
I brewed it today, and it is in my closet as I type, what I have to think about now is:
A. How many peaches for a 4 gallon recipe am I going to have pitted, frozen, unfrozen, and thrown into the secondary?
B. How much American Honey (Wild Turkey product) would be enough with out overwhelming the beer? I'm thinking between 1-2 cups, but I'd like to hear anyone's input of adding liquor to beer, no matter what style you did. fyi, American Honey is a bourbon product but very subtle, and very honey flavored. I believe it's about 35 percent.
