Hey everyone. I just started brewing about a month ago and have already done 3 two gallon small batch beers (2 IPAs and 1 APA). I'm thinking about doing a simple easy drinking summer type saison for my next one and I wanted to get some advice on a recipe. This will be my first 5 gallon brew.
Type: Extract
Starting boil vol: 3 gal
Boil time: 60'
4lbs Pilsen DME (72.7%)
0.5lbs wheat DME (9.1%)
1lbs corn sugar (18.2%)
1oz hallertau (60')
1oz saaz (5')
Top off to 5 gal
Wyeast 3711
OG: 1.046
FG: 1.009
ABV: 4.8%
IBU: 21
(Used Brew Pal app)
A couple points/questions:
- should I add any steeping grains?
- do I need to do a secondary fermentation? (Which would require me to buy one)
- I wanted to possibly try black pepper and lemon in this but wasn't sure if I should stay away from the spices since it's my first one. If I wanted to do it, when and how should I add them?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
