Le saison petit a la francaise. Hon hon hon.
In all seriousness, I'm thinking of brewing this next. Would appreciate feedback.
Target OG: 1.040
Target FG: low
Target IBUs: ~23ish
Batch size: 5.5 gallons (all trub gets dumped into primary!)
Boil length: 60 minutes
5 lbs., 9 oz. Pilsen malt
1 lb., 2 oz. wheat malt
0 lbs., 12 oz. munich 10L
0 lbs., 4 oz. honey malt
Hops:
10g Mandarina Bavaria (8.5% AA) at first wort hop
10g Mandarina Bavaria (8.5% AA) at 30 minutes
~57g Mandarina Bavaria (2 oz. plus what's left of the ounce that gets split between bittering additions) in a hop stand at 160F for 30 minutes
Yeast: Belle saison slurry raised to a respectable pitch rate
Mash somewhere between 148-150.
You might think that there are too many rich malts in this, but my thinking is that (a) it's a small beer and so might benefit from flavor, and (b) belle will eat through all that and give a low FG no matter what.
