I want to brew another beer for the wife. She loved the first beer I did for her, which was basically a gumballhead clone. This time I'm wanting to take a stab at her favorite style. Saison. The recipe is pretty basic, but i'm looking for some input. As a note, once it's out of primary I was thinking I'd split the batch and toss in the dregs of a bottle of Boulevard Saison-Bret to one half.
