I currently have a CAP in my chest freezer, and it will be there for a while. Thought this would be a great chance to try out a saison yeast at room temp.
I have two simple recipes (below). Let me know which one you like and what might be wrong with either. Planning on brewing one in about two weeks. Any tweak/advice is also greatly appreciated: mash temp, ferm temp (planning on just lettin'er go) etc.
