Notes: Fresh Chilli Halved deseeded/deveined, added in Hop Bag
Added 1 Habanero & 5 Birdseye at Secondary 3 days
Tested no heat
Added 1 Habanero & 5 Birdseye at Secondary 1 day
Kegged minimal heat
Added 18g of Masterfoods Dried Chilli Flakes, in Hop Bag to the Keg, left in there for say 3 hours & removed.
Bang on balance of cracking Saison finishing off with a warm Chilli that just wants to make you have more. No vegetal flavour, aroma predominately Saison & slight Chilli
Poor head retention, next time will not add fresh Chilli, will add the Dried Chilli to the Keg. |

Notes: Salal berries were sterilized with boiling water, then tossed in a sterilized blender. The entire amount was poured into the carboy 4 days into Primary Fermentation.
Ideally, stems would have been removed. But for 900g (several litres) this was tedious.
Changes for next brew:
1. Mash was stuck. 20% acidulated malt is the culprit. Experiment with late-additions or kettle souring. The level of sour in the finished product was great - if not a bit strong. If using the malt again, consider 10% or less at the same schedule.
2. Fruit was added 4 days into primary. Fruit flavour was excellent, but may have lost some sharpness. Next brew should see fruit added later in secondary. If later, drop the amount of fruit.
3. Clarity was poor. Next brew should use wirflock.
4. Having the entire fruit and stems blended didn't seem to negatively affect flavour. It did however make adding to the carboy tricky as the level of pectin was such that it was nearly a solid. Next brew should be smaller, the addition of salal should be with water and poured into a sterilized carboy and the primary racked into this as the secondary.
5. Consider calculating the available fementables in salal to better calculate the recipe.
*recipe has been changed for fruit amount and time as well as fermentable reducing the acidulated malt. A pH meter might be needed. Original recipe had 1.25kg acidulated (4 pale and 0.75 crystal) and a reduction from 900g of fruit.
New Update: Beers bottled with CO2 and kept cellared for several months proved to be a more clear beer with a "cleaner" taste. And this was the original recipe. Perhaps longer aging period and cold crashing is best before kegging. Or if bottle conditioning, age for 6 months.
Second brew is as above, but with half the fruit. As expected it is less acidic (see changes above) and less fruity. Trials for next time: more fruity esters from yeast, minimal specialty hops could offer fruity notes. Otherwise fruit is limited to how much I can forage.

Step by Step
Mill the grains and dough-in targeting a mash of around 1.5 quarts of water to 1 pound of grain (a liquor-to-grist ratio of about 3:1 by weight) and a temperature of 152 °F (67 °C). Hold the mash at 152 °F (67 °C) until enzymatic conversion is complete. Infuse the mash with near boiling water while stirring or with a recirculating mash system raise the temperature to mash out at 168 °F (76 °C). Sparge slowly with 170 °F (77 °C) water, collecting wort until the pre-boil kettle volume is around 6.5 gallons (24.4 L) and the gravity is 1.040 (10 °P).
The total boil time will be 90 minutes. 30 minutes after the wort starts boiling, add the bittering hops. Add Irish moss or other kettle finings with 15 minutes left in the boil. Add the last hop additions just before shutting off the burner. Chill the wort rapidly to 65 °F (18 °C), let the break material settle, rack to the fermenter, pitch the yeast and aerate thoroughly.
Use 9 grams of properly rehydrated dry yeast, two liquid yeast packages, or make a starter. Ferment at 65 °F (18 °C). When finished, carbonate the beer to approximately 2.5 volumes. |
