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. |

Notes: Before mashing, toast the 4 oz. of Pale Malt at 350 degrees for 15 minutes, crush, and steep with other listed grains.
Ferment at 68 for 2 weeks, then transfer to secondary and dry hop. Condition cool (50-55) for 3 to 4 weeks.
Add Gelatin (optional for clarification) and cold crash 3 days prior to bottling. Bottle and age at 55-60 for 3 weeks. Chill 3 days, enjoy!!
A very pale, golden ale with lots of hop aroma. This beer is light in body and mild in flavor, making it seem hoppier than it really is. There are also notes of crackers, bread, toast, and grain.
A perfect summer grilling house beer... |

Notes: Heat 8 gallons of water to 160F. Add BIAB bag to keggle and clip it to edges.
Add total grains and stir to eliminate any dough balls.
Check temp, its should be around 154F, a little lower is better than too high (160F is max) if temp is too high drain some of the liquid off and add back to the grains and stir, keep stirring until you reach mash temp (154F).
Cover the keggle with a lid and let it sit for 60 minutes.
Raise temperature to 170 and let sit for 10 minutes (Mash Out).
Remove grain bag and squeeze the bag to extract more liquid. No need to squeeze all liquid out, just give it a few good squeezes.
Bring the liquid (wort) to a boil and add hops per the recipe. This is a 60 minute boil. |

Notes: Vanilla Beans, split and soaked in enough vodka to cover, for
2 weeks before bottling or kegging. Pour vanilla beans and
vodka through a strainer into the bottling bucket or keg.
Alternately, you can add the split vanilla beans directly to
the fermenter 4 days before bottling or kegging.
Brewer’s Notes: This recipe is from Jeremy Railey, who won first place at the
Indiana Brewer’s Cup in the Specialty category with this beer! Jeremy prefers
to zest the skin of an orange or two and freeze it overnight before brew day.
When he brews this beer, he will zest the skin of another orange directly into
the boil at 30 minutes left in the boil, then split the orange open and drop it
directly in the wort for the rest of the boil. He will put the frozen zest in at the
end of the boil. We have included sweet orange peel as an alternative to this,
but if you would like, you can try to brew it his way! He also uses Mexican
vanilla beans, as they give a smooth vanilla cream character to the beer. He
will soak the split beans in enough vodka to cover them for 2 weeks prior to
bottling or kegging, then strain the beans from the vodka extract directly into
the keg or bottling bucket. This is a delicious beer with a lot of fun variables
that can be brewed again and again |

| Notes: Steep the spruce in either a separate kettle if possible. If you have a full lauter tun(I don't) you can filter mashed wort through the spruce at the bottom of the tun, my steep method is just to approximate this process whilst not having a real lauter process. Spruce and some other evergreen trees provide vitamin c(ascorbic acid) when steeped as a tea, this provides a slight sour flavor and helps keep the beer from going stale(oxidizing). When dry hopping also mash the juniper berries and dry "hop" those as well, either in the same bag or separate, depending on size of bag and fermenter. Add honey in two steps, half on the third day after fermentation begins, the rest after the 7th day. The end result should be floral, piney, and if you bottle condition I recommend using a strong flavored varietal honey as the priming sugar, as this flavor/aroma will show up when poured. Bottle as soon as possible once you have reached final gravity, I recommend an aging period of at least three months after bottling. |
