Cupid's Saison

=Cupid's Saison=

I'm all about drinking beers fresh. This one was great at day 14 grain to glass. Kegging of course. Good and Refreshing!

French Saison (3711)

Mashed at 154F for 60 minutes.

recipe looks great, I think ill be making a 5 gallon batch of this next, what temp did you ferment at?

Also, orange peel, did that include the white pithey part, or just the zest?

I mashed at 154F and my brew closet was at about 68F. I really wanted to ramp up the heat after a couple of days but didn't get around to it. As for the orange peel it was dried sweet orange peel from my LHBS.

This brew was great. I'm very satisfied with the yeast even at that temp. I have never brewed the same batch back to back but am thinking of brewing this again next. The only factor I would play with is seeing how it comes out with a higher fermentation temp.

Let me know if you brew it and how it turns out! Cheers!

Hey MotorcycleMatt,
Wondering if you ever brewed this?

Best,

I haven't had a chance yet, its in the line up though. I will within the next month
