As it turns out, I've got a ton of basil and lemon basil in my garden. I'm brewing a sessionable saison (OG 1.044ish) tomorrow, and am thinking of treating half of it with basil somehow in secondary.
My instinct would be some somehow wash the basil, crush it a little to get some aroma, oils, etc out of the leaves, place in mesh bag and throw it in secondary.
Thoughts? Suggestions?
My first saison turned out quite nice, I did half with orange peel and sage for secondary.
