Notes: This recipe makes a dry, bitter, and hoppy saison, and can also serve as a solid template for further variations. See suggestions below.

Mash Schedule for BIAB

Because of the relatively large proportion of spelt in this recipe, I typically do a cereal mash. The process is quite straight-forward for Brew in a Bag, but may require some modification for other mashing regimes.

1) Crush spelt separately to consistency of grits. Bring to a boil in a large saucepan with a few litres of water (subtract this from the volume of your main batch, or take it directly from the liquor in the main kettle). Keep at a boil, stirring to prevent scorching, until it forms a thick porridge: usually 15-20 minutes. This stage can be done prior to brew day, with the cooled spelt porridge stored in the fridge till required.

2) Heat main mash liquor and dough in with grist and spelt porridge, aiming for an initial temperature of 131F. You may need to break up the spelt porridge with your hands if you stored it before use. Keep at this temperature for around 15-20 minutes. [Optional step: you can also include an earlier rest at around 113F. This may aid with lautering and possibly increase phenolics from any brettanomyces strains.]

3) Raise mash to around 145F. Keep at this temperature for 40-50 minutes.

4) Raise mash to around 154F. Keep at this temperature for 20 minutes.

5) Raise to 168F. Mash out and lauter. Top-up with water to reach your desired pre-boil volume. Proceed with boil.

Fermentation:

Cool beer to around 65F. Oxygenate, pitch yeast, and allow to freerise. (In the summer, I would keep it in my fermentation chamber set at 70F for 24-26 hours.)

Variations:

This recipe provides a good template for variation. The spelt gives the beer a full mouth-feel that stands up well to both hops and acidity.

As it stands, the recipe makes a fairly bitter, hoppy beer. I find it ages gracefully if you add a small pitch of brettanomyces (e.g. bottle dregs) to secondary or at bottling: as the hops fade, the brettanomyces character will gradually become more prominent.

I have varied the grist for this recipe in a number of ways, all with good results. Some suggestions: - replace some of the pilsner with 5-15% Vienna or Munich. - replace some of the pilsner with 15-30% of another base malt, e.g. pale ale malt, Golden Promise, 6-row, etc. - add an adjunct in the kettle or post-boil. I have added both honey and Candi Syrup to this recipe. I thought the former worked particularly well.

Try adding an element of acidity to the beer; depending on your palate, you may want to dial back the bitterness slightly if you do this (I do not). - I often blend in 10-25% pale sour with this beer. The fullness from the spelt provides a nice balance to the acidity. Depending on your final gravity, you can do this in secondary or at bottling. - Add flavour at bottling, e.g. I have made a tea from hibiscus leaves and added it at bottling, which provided a nice tartness along with brilliant colour.

Notes: 1.25.15
410 is slightly undercarbed. Really complex, fruity, tart, dry, and refreshing. Might be outstanding with a touch of spicy-grassy hops or a touch of pine, maybe some nutty, bready malts to balance the tart fruitiness and add some body.

---

9.01.14
Both 1010 and 410 are delicious in their own right. The 410 has more yeast character. It's tart, dry, refreshing, and gently spicy. The 1010 highlights the hops, fruity, citrusy, dry, and more mild on the yeast notes. I would make both again, or continue to do this split batch and fiddle with ferm. temps, hops, or grist.

Mash finished at 152, likely mashed at ~153.

410: 3.5 gal
1010: 2.5 gal

No reason for notes on this sucka, we hit our marks! Likely hit about 75% efficiency. Got an extra half gallon of wort that we used for an experimental batch:
.5 oz Sorachi Ace, .5 oz Nelson Sauvin @2 min.

"410 works wonderfully in the production of Belgian wits & wheat beers. It is a strain capable of producing a range of complex flavors, from fruity estery notes at higher temperatures to light phenolics and tartness at lower temperature fermentations"

Split batch: WLP410 (67-74) & WY1010 (58-74)
