I'm looking into brewing a Saison that should be quite spicy, dry, but also smooth. I want to try a combination of rye and wheat, as I love me a rye saison and I love me a wheat beer. Of course, that doesn't mean combining the two is a good idea, hence the post!
Has anyone brewed something similar?
I'm thinking something like this for a mash. Temp at 152-154 somewhere.
55% pils
20% rye malt
20% wheat malt
5% flaked oats
rice hulls
Not sure about hops yet, I have some Perle, Saaz, Liberty, Tettnanger, and Hersbrucker. I'm considering adding some star anis, coriander seeds, and orange peel for an added complexity, but not sure if this belongs in a first brew of the recipe.
I'll be using Wyeast 3724 and ferment at around 80, which is ambient right now. I'll do my damndest to aerate and give the yeast the suplements it needs, but if it still stalls I have a package of 3711 I can finish things off with.
