Looks good to me!
I forgot to mention that I made my own candi sugar for this batch, first time doing so:

Brewed this today, rounded up the numbers so it was easier to weigh
9lbs pils
3 lbs wheat
0.5lb vienna
Left out the candi sugar so its not as strong
Used belle saison yeast slurry from a previous batch
I used Saaz and EK Goldings...it will taste different for sure but I ran out of time to get anything else
OG: 1.059

Looks like a good recipe as the weather warms up here in TX. My house doesn't get below 76 in the summer. Is the acid malt solely for PH adjustment based on your water profile, or is it a flavor component as well?
Brewing this now. Only change is yeast will be 3711 French Saison, I want this down to 1.00 when done!
Is everyone still fermenting 3726 at 90F even though Wyeast seems to have lowered the top end of the temp range to 84F? I am still ramping up from last Friday's brew and I am at 85F. Just curious if I should keep going or stop?
Hotter the better I wouldn't hesitate one bit to get it to the mid-80s. Good luck!
First tasting notes: OG was 1.64 and FG was 1.007 for 7.5% ABV. Taste is on the dry side with medium body and carbonation. Nice lacing and head of foam.
I should also add, I fermented at 85F for just over 3 weeks. Very nice taste overall, 3726 gave the right amount of Belgian character. I will now store at 66F in my basement to see how the flavor evolves. If I was to make this again, I might aim for a pound less of malt, perhaps OG of 1.055 - 1.058. Cheers!
I’ve been skimming through and can’t seem to find a water profile. Anyone have any suggestions if I am building up from distilled water?
I think I used Bru'N water yellow-balanced profile iirc.
