Hey Al,

What do you think of this for the base recipe for the saison:

I'd prefer to up the wheat and munich a bit if you're up to it.

I used ~50% pils, ~20% munich, ~20% wheat, ~10% adjunct sugar.

1# of wheat in a 10g beer means this thing is basically a pils. I know the yeasties play a big part in it, but I'd like some sort of mouthfeel to it.
 
Works for me. I will rework it with your percentages. You want to use any honey as an adjunct or just sugar? I know how you mead guys covet your honey.
 
Honey's worthless in beer, ferments out completely and doesn't leave much honey flavor behind. Besides, the real flavor in this will be the chai.

It doesn't have to match my percentages, but I'd like a little more than a pound of each.

In my 5g batch it was 6, 2, 2, 1 (pils, wheat, munich, adjunct)...so when I saw 1# in 10g was half of my 5g batch, something stirred up the brain.

Clap and I made a honey blonde or something like that, it was about 35-40% honey and it turned out fantastic. It was a recipe we found on this site actually.
 
Hey Wes, although it is not yet carbed, I sampled the Schwartz, even with my crazy ferment temps, that is a damn good beer. COlor was darker than I thought too.
 
It looked brown when we were brewing it, I was hoping for black. IN the sample glass it was much closer to the right color, but still a little too light. Needs carafa if brewed again.

Mine's carbed up pretty good now. I'll bring some along to brew day for some analysis. The color on mine seems dark enough for a schwartzbier.
 
So who is sending out the address? I am actually going to make it this time :)

No business trips, no events scheduled, and the wife is working that day.
