(aside: a bootleg yeast that i'm definitely all about is their Saison Parfait... i need to start a dedicated thread about that one)
Please do and tag me. I am drinking mine now and really enjoying it. I'm getting nice fruity esters and hay from mine.
ok, @Inkleg and @Dog House Brew, here you are: a thread dedicate to Saison Parfait.
i made a relatively "restrained" saison with my pouch and i'm loving it. made a 1.75 liter starter. i didn't ferment too hot: pitched at 72, up to 75 on day 4, hit 77 a few days later and stayed there. SP got the beer down to 1.007 after 18 days. there was still a little activity going on, had i been more patient (or maybe cranked up the heat) i might have been able to drive that down further. i'm perfectly happy with this beer as is.
i'm getting some pear esters and a hint of bubble gum, and some spice in the aftertaste. the amarillo dry-hop comes through nicely. it's definitely a saison, but those seeking a DuPont clone might not be satisfied with it (their loss!).
glad i saved some of the cake from this one. will be using it again, maybe i'll go all-out and get those temps up higher.
