Boring Saisons

[rembikjazz]

I've done rye saison on M29 with grapefruit peel, lemongrass, 3 types of basil. It's "green" but perfect so mine, Citron notes maskin farmhouse smell

Did they mention why you would be dinged for fruity esters, that are reminiscent of bubblegum? As far as I know, fruiry esters are allowed in a Saison according t-o t-h-e B-J-C-P. Or is bubblegum not a fruity ester?

I have read conflicting reports on whether onr not bubblegum is considered an off flavor, but the majority seems to indicate it is. Two competitions, two dings for bubblegum. Fermentation was a decent sized starter and fermented at 75F. Seems to be a character of that yeast. I love it personally - so will brew it for myself - just not for competition

Ferment in the garage warm, up to 90 degrees is ok. Orange peel, coriander, black pepper corns, grains of paradise, belgian candy sugar [emoji108]
