Looking to brew a Saison this weekend. I had one that was citrus based but the brewer wasn't in and the bar chick didn't know which hops were used.
Most of the recipes I've found use the standard Saison hops (saaz, EKG, Stryian Golding etc).
I was thinking of going with Amarillo and Simcoe but didn't know how these hops would play using Belle Saison yeast.
If anyone has brewed a Saison with non standard hops, please post info.
My grain bill is :
85.6% Pilsner
4.9% Vienna
4.9% Pale wheat
4.7% Dark Munich
Hops: (not set on Simcoe & Amarillo)
Not sure of the hops for bittering (CTZ, Magnum, Warrior or other)
Simcoe & Amarillo at 10 min and Zero.
DH with Amarillo
