I brewed a version of the AHB Hibiscus Ginger saison last year but tweaked it to my personal tastes. I am getting ready to brew another batch this year and wanted some critiques on my recipe.
6.5 gal batch
OG: 1.055
TG: 1.008-010
IBUs: 29
SRM: 10(prior to hibiscus addition)
7# Belgian Pils
2# Belgian Wheat Malt
1# Caravienne
1# Amber candi syrup
1# Table sugar
1.75 oz Styrian Goldings @ 60 min
.5 oz Saaz @ 10 min
.5 oz Saaz @ 1min
Specialty ingredients:
.5# dried hibiscus petals
WLP565
Single infusion mash @ 145* until sugars are converted. Use 4oz of the hibiscus petals in the mash. Use the rest in secondary.
Ferment starts at 65* and ramps up until complete.
I plan on trying to perfect this recipe this year. Trying different yeast strains as well as possibly using something to make a sour version. What taste differences will I find using the different saison yeast strains?
