- Tasting Notes
- One fantastic beer. Yeast is awesome.
Recipe based loosely on Saison Ete recipe from Zymurgy.
MASHED GRAINS
9# Belgian Pils
3# German Wheat Malt
0.5# Vienna
ADDITIONAL FERMENTABLES
1# Organic Cane Sugar
HOPS
2oz Styrian Goldings (3.8%aa) @ 90 mins
1oz Saaz (3.8%aa) @ 60 mins
1oz Saaz @ @ 5 mins
1oz Saaz Dry Hopped
OTHER ADDITIONS
0.25tsp Black Pepper @ 5 mins
0.25tsp Coriander @ 5 mins
MASHING NOTES
120F for 10mins.
148F for 60 mins.
73% efficiency was lower than usual. Probably should have increased saccarification rest to 90 mins due to the low mash temp.
FERMENTATION NOTES
75 for 24 hrs, 80 for 24 hrs, 82 for 5 days, cellar after that. 1.004 after 3 days when I transferred to secondary.
BOTTLING NOTES
1 cup corn sugar. Condition for 2 weeks.
ADDITIONAL TASTING NOTES
What an awesome yeast strain! Wow.
I'm particularly proud of this beer. Although the yeast did most of the work, and the recipe was largely a copy of one out of Zymurgy, it turned out fantastic. Careful mash and fermentation control really paid off big time, as this beer is very very good.
Taste hides the 8.5% alc with easy, and is surprising refreshing. Crisp and dry, yet with more body than I would have expected from a beer that finished at 1.004.
Color is a barely hazy straw with a nice white head. High carbonation is evident in the large bubbles that roll up the side of the glass.
Hop bitterness is there, but not at all overwhelming or puckering.
Tastes is tons of yeast contributions with lots of citrus, spice, and vanilla. Malt is there as well.
