6 lbs. Belgian Pils. 60%
3 lbs. Spelt. 30%
1 lb. Turbinado sugar. 10%
2 oz. French Strisselspalt. @ 60 2.3%. 17.8 IBU
1.5 oz. French Strisselspalt. @. 20 2.3%. 8.1 IBU
1 oz. French Strisselspalt. @ 5. 2.3%. 1.8 IBU
Mash at 149 for 75 min. Pitch yeast at 70, hold it there until fermentation gets going good. Then slowly ramp up the temp to the high 80's. I would add 2 degrees in the morning and then another 2 degrees in the evening until I got to 86-88.
A great Saison. It tastes exactly like I would imagine a rustic farmhouse Saison should taste like. The spelt adds a nice earthy, slightly nutty flavor. Similar to wheat but different enough to add an interesting twist. It plays well with the Strisselspalt hops and the yeast. It can be difficult to find malted spelt but it is worth the effort to search it out. After reading Farmhouse Ales I was inspired to make a more rustic, simple saison and this worked out perfectly. I brewed it twice and it has been a big hit. I just brewed the third time and going to add some Brett, which should really make a nice addition to this brew.
Find some malted spelt and give this brew a try.
