Notes: Yeast: Wyeast 3711 highly aromatic, peppery, spicy and fruity. I've heard online that citrus dominates. Enhances the use of aroma hops. Silky and rich (and dry?) mouthfeel from high attenuation.
Malts: Will use some Pilsen malt (not traditionally the biggest fan) to appease the style but will mix it with some light malt extract. Honey notes and pronounced maltiness from the abbey malt which will add complexity normally associated with Belgian ales. Carafoam for more body and head retention.
Hops: I would like the hops to be fruity and have citrus notes but I don't want it to clash with the yeast.
Centennial (60/40/0) Clean bittering. Floral and citrus aroma.
Amarillo (40/15/0) Floral and citrus.
Galaxy (Dry Hop) Citrus and passionfruit. Aroma quite intense at first, but mellows with age.
Brew day: May 4, 2014. Steeped 0.5 lbs of carafoam and 0.5 lbs of abbey malt for 30 minutes @ 74C.
I didn't see the late addition option in the fermentables section so I didn't incorporate it into my IBU calculation. I had originally shot for 25 IBUs...now I have 57. Oy vay. However, the calculation is based on adding the extract in the last 10 minutes. Mine was added more like 15 minutes, so the 57 IBU is more of a maximum. I still plan on dry hopping with 2 oz of Galaxy, but hopefully this isn't a hop bomb Saison. Now it doesn't fit BJCP guidelines, oh well! La Saison d'Oppy Amour.
Signs of fermentation 12 hours after pitching!
05/16: measured FG @ 1.012 - exactly where I want it! Took a sample and initial thoughts are that it has a spicy aroma and taste with a dry and bitter after taste. Hopefully dry hopping with 2 oz of galaxy hops for 10 days will impart some fruitiness to the aroma.
Took another sample on 05/29 and it tasted super sour. Maybe from all the citrus-y yeast and hops, especially the Galaxy in the dry hop? Hopefully it isnt an infection.
Bottling day: 06/03. Assuming 4.4 gallons to be bottled. Current temp of 23.2 degrees celsius. I did cold crash, but not for long, and it only got down to 16/17 degrees, so ill drop to 21. Shooting for 3.0 volumes of c02. Boil 5.13 oz of corn sugar.
Overall expectations: The first bottles will be overly citrusy, perhaps too much so, since the yeast is aroma-inducing. Suggest aging for a while to mellow out if the citrus/floral is too intense.
Sample on 06/13: First taste after a week in bottle and 24 hours in fridge. Overly sour and bitter, but this is not a bad thing. I like it. Michelle loves it. Very sour/citrus on the nose. Sharp, up-front bitter notes when tasting. Hopefully mellows well with time.
06/26: 3 weeks in bottles. Zero head. Could be dirty glass. Citrus aroma has subdued, but still present in taste. Tastes warmer (more alcohol) now.
A French-style Saison with large hints of fruit, including citrus and passionfruit, that makes this an easy-drinking beer. Perfect for those hot summer days.
08/07: 3rd last bottle - woah, foam immediately gushed out of the bottle as soon as I opened it. Bizarre. The others weren't overcarbed. I realllly need to mix the priming sugar with the beer next time I bottle. I can't think of another explanation. It's hard to taste anything other than the prickliness of the carbonation. Still rather spicy. At least its alcohol. |

Converted to extract because i am not setup for all-grain. Few alterations to the grain bill to accommodate the liquid malt in place of 2 row, and lowered the flaked oats to be more proportionate. Not making an oatmeal stout here...
chose an irish ale yeast because i was familiar with it from FRIZ, enjoy the flavor profile.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR OREOS:
(To be amended)
separate the cookies, scrape out the cream. liquefy the cream. Uncrushed cookies go in the boil at 20. Liquid cream (at room temp) goes in at 10. May amend to 5 to be with lactose.
I was warned the oils in the cookies may affect my head, so will have to watch for that. in future may look in to a way around this. was told simply not to use the cream, but we know that's not an option ;) |

Notes: Two very unique ingredients combine to make a fantastic session brew. Rye extract provides a distinct spice to interact with the wheat base. And to finish it off, Sorachi hops late additions and dry hop provide a lemon flavor and aroma. Good all year, amazing all summer.

Notes: Used Rye LME from Northern Brewer.
Am liking the Pacific Gem hops a lot-but they are aggressive and would not add any more than 2 oz. (Cedar/herbal/dark berry, and uncomplicated/clean bittering)
Should have used a blow off tube - the Kolsh yeast was very vigorous the first 2 days in primary.
Will be trying a chemical fining 3 days before bottling |

Notes: Blend of Jazz, Jonagold, Red Delicious, Granny Smith, Pink Lady. No adjustment of pH, which was 3.7, and yeast is Safale S04. Note; racking/tasting 5-14 and is alcoholic and yeasty. Chilling to 34F to drop out yeast & condition. Need to drop fermentation temp to 60 next time.
