Notes: AHA Gold 2024 - Saison
3-stage step mash. Boil for 70 minutes.
Ferment at 75 for 14 days.
First made 4/20/25.
Followed step mash process, starting at 120. This made some sense given the 6 row being used. Added 1 tsp of gypsum to the strike water to bring out the hop bitterness.
Added 1 gallon of 170 sparge water and brought to boil. Gravity was only 1040 before I added sugar. It was 1044 after the sugar. pH after mash was 5.3, so no need for any acid.
Boiled for an hour with 0.2 oz magnum. Added 2.25 oz of new Amarillo with 5 mins to go. Let that boil for 5 mins then put in Jaded chiller. Brought back up to the boil then chilled to 160 (very quickly as water is 50). Then added whirlpool hops into the wort, but didn't run a whirlpool as it was 10 pm. Let the hops sit at 160 - 175 for 20 mins, then chilled to 75 and put into fermenter.
Micro Homebrew didn't have Lallemand Saison yeast, so subbed Wyeast 3724, Belgian Saison yeast. Made a starter with this for 12 hours, and added it to fermenter. Put on the therm wrap as wanted to keep temp at 75. Also did not fully seal the fermenter, as didn't want any pressure on yeast.
Vigorous fermentation after 24 hours, and gravity fell quickly 10 1037. Then went down more slowly, so increased temp to 77 and shook fermenter to agitate yeast several times. Left in fermenter for 13 days to make sure fully fermented. gravity fell slowly to 1009, and then a few more points over the last 4 days to 1006, which is slightly above target of 1004. Taste had some funk and and hops came through nicely, so with a lot of carbonation should drink well.
Started drinking after a week of conditioning in kegerator. It's a tasty beer, with gentle spice and characteristic Belgian yeast flavors. Hops work well to give it citrus notes. Easily drunk, and high carbonation helps. 8/10. After a few more weeks it became crystal clear, light straw color, and the hops and yeast character blended well together to make a very tasty beer. |

minutes, while stirring, being careful not to scorch any grain, then add it back to the main mash. Raise to 155°F and hold 5 min. Mash at 162°F and hold 20 min.
Knockout at 75°F, ferment at 78°F until beer reaches terminal gravity. Allow at least 24 hours for the beer to rest at terminal

Notes: Note this is a split batch beer. After mashing, including a single decoction, I bring the beer to boiling and then pull off 2 gallons of wort. This wort undergoes a 15 minute boil with a hop addition at 10 minutes. It is then whirlpooled and chilled to upper 65 F and then yeast is pitched.
The remaining wort which was only at boiling briefly is chilled to 100 F, transferred to a carboy and receives a pitch of lacto. A heating pad set to 83 F was attached to this carboy.
After a few days (3-4) the lacto should have done it's trick and the two are mixed back together. The yeast should finish fermenting the beer and the hops should stop the lacto. |

Notes: After mashing boil for 15 minutes to boil off any oxygen from wort, transfer carefully to bucket and make sure you dont leave any head space to avoid contact with oxygen, lower ph down to 4.5 with lactic acid, add 330g of probiotic containing Lactobacillus rhamnosus.
Store it on temperature of 37°C for 24h. It should bring down ph to 3.2.
Transfer sour wort back to kettle and boil for 60 minutes, adding 5g of cascade hops 30 minutes from end of boil. Cool down to 18°C and transfer to fermenter, pitch US-05.
Add 2.5 kg frozen raspberries to primary for 3 days after primary fermentation is done, filter to bottling bucket and add 200g of dextrose, stir slowly to avoid unnecesary oxidation.
