Hey, I have only made a saison once before with very different ingredients. I was hoping to brew this week and wanted to make one with what I have on hand. What do you guys think of using just 2-row and Saaz? I'd like it to be on the lower end of the scale with ABV which is why I'm using so little grain. Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated. Thanks! (also, this is the first time I've used Beersmith2 to show the recipe and I don't know where people get the clean info to post so feel free to ask for any more numbers, etcs)
