I made a fresh hop farmhouse with Crystal, Newport, and Nugget

I made a fresh hop farmhouse with Crystal, Newport, and Nugget because I had them in the garden. Newport and Nugget are bittering hops to me. This seems dangerous...but it seemed a shame to let them go to waste. So I collected a bunch (at least 1.5 pounds) and threw them about 160F.

Then I used a yeast I've tried before: Lalbrew Farmhouse Hybrid Saison.

And damn! It's good. It's not over the top Belgian taste, rather subtle.

I’ve made one beer with Farmhouse so far, and it sure didn’t feel like a saison. Nice, but not dry enough.

Agreed. This one stopped at 1.009.
