I'm planning on brewing a simple and stupid mango saison, and was hoping for some feedback. I'm most worried about what the effects of using a fairly low amount of a single malt (with a bit of flaked barley for head and body). I also want to end up with a very bright, fruity and refreshing beer that is very dry and not at all sweet and malty. All feedback is welcome.
Batch: 3.5-4 gallons
Grain:
4# Pilsner Malt
64oz Naked brand mighty mango (http://nakedjuice.com/our-products/juice/mighty-mango)
1# Turbinado sugar
5oz flaked barley
Hops:
1oz Citra
0.5oz Saaz
Yeast:
Wyeast French Saison (3711)
Considering buying a pack of EC-1118 either as insurance against stalled fermentation, or to really make things dry and bubbly. Probably completely unnecessary.
