I'm going to brew a pale, session, table saison (4% abv) but red. So, I was wondering, how and how much hibiscus to add to a 5gal batch just for color without being overpowering.
I was thinking 3oz at flameout would do the job but I've read different opinions and results on the color. Maybe adding some in the mash? I don't know.
Also, I dont think adding it before packaging will impart as much color but I have no experience using it.
Thanks!
Recipe is:
6lb Pilsner Malt
1lb Wheat Malt
0.5oz Willamette @60
0.5oz Willamette @10
1oz Cascade @Whirlpool
Hibiscus ???
Yeast: SafAle BE-134
