this was an extract brew. my first one done outdoors in a large pot and burner.

specifics...

6 gallons of spring water in the brew kettle to start out.

brought water to boil.

3.3 lb. breiss pilsen malt (90 minutes)
1.0 lb. light dry malt extract (90 minutes)

2.0 oz hallertau hops (7.0% AA) (75 minutes)

3.3 lb. breiss pilsen malt (30 minutes)
1.0 lb. amber dry malt extract (30 minutes)
1.0 lb. wheat dry malt extract (30 minutes)
1.0 lb. clear belgian candy sugar (30 minutes)

1.5 tsp. yeast nutrient (25 minutes)
1.0 oz. irish moss (25 minutes)

1.0 oz hallertau hops (7.0% AA) (flameout)

cooled to about 70 degrees with pre-chiller/chiller

i had to add one gallon of water to get back up to 5 gallons as i lost two gallons in the boil.

pitched 2 packages of wyeast belgian saison yeast that within four hours completely expanded the packages.

it's been less than 18 hours and the krausen is up into the neck of a 6.5 gallon carboy.

i'll post pictures this evening.


OG was 1.078
