DIRECTIONS
Mill the grains and mash at 156°F (69°C) for 60 minutes. Vorlauf until the runnings are free of particles, then run off into the kettle. Sparge and top up as necessary to get about 6 gallons (23 liters) of wort—or more, depending on your evaporation rate. Boil for 90 minutes, adding hops and lactose according to the schedule. After the boil, chill to about 62°F (17°C), aerate well, and pitch the yeast. Ferment at 65°F (18°C), allowing the temperature to rise to 70°F (21°C) for a diacetyl rest when fermentation is nearly complete. Then crash, package, and carbonate to about 2.4 volumes of CO2.

BREWER’S NOTES
Take precautions against acetaldehyde and diacetyl—keep your sanitation regime airtight, aerate your wort thoroughly after chilling, pitch plenty of healthy yeast, keep the beer on the yeast trub only until fermentation is complete, and limit oxygen exposure after primary fermentation.

Hops: These are interchangeable; go for low-alpha, Noble-type varieties to get about 27 IBUs.

Notes: Split batch 2.5 gallons with Wyeast 3711 French Saison Plan to dry hop in 3 weeks and bottle in 4 weeks.

2.5 gallons with 3031 Private collection Saison Brett Plan to dry hop in 6 weeks and bottle in 7 weeks.

Brewed on 10/25/16. Substituted FF for Rakau hops. Rakau hops are sold out everywhere.

Bottled 2 gallons of the 3711 on 11/29/2016. Added 1.5 cups (1 in 20) of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc 2015 Mohua Marlborough. FG 1.004 Used 2 grams of Champagne yeast. Took three weeks to carbonate. Two weeks storage to peak in taste. Tart grapes and tangy citrus. Super yummy and complex saison. Awesome layers of flavor. Cloudy appearance started right after adding the dry hopped. Cloudy appearance stayed into the finished bottled beer.

Bottled 2.1gallons of the 3031on 12/28/2016 with 2 grams of dry abbey ale yeast. Added 1.5 cups (1 in 20) of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc 2014 Dashwood Marlborough. FG 1.001

Notes: Made a 2.2 L starter w/ 8 oz. DME (pale/pilsner mix). Put starter in the fridge after 12 hours to decant, but noticed globs of yeast jumping from the bottom cake 3 hours later (still in fridge). Took starter out of the fridge as i chilled the wort to 72 degrees. Decanted about a liter of liquid and pitched the rest. Would have liked to decant all of the liquid, but I figured there might be a fair amount of yeast still in suspension. I hope it doesn't screw the batch. Kreuzen forming activity w/ in 4 hours of pitching yeast. Still at 72 degrees in a room that is significantly cooler than that. I've got a fermwrap on it that will kick on at 69 and turn off at 70. Planning to ferment at 70.

Edit: I screwed up the hop schedule b/c when I originally was formulating the recipe it was as a 3 gallon boil. I did a 6.5 gallon boil, so I got more utilization. Still w/in the style, but will likely be more bitter than Fuller's. Time will tell.

After 3 days the beer was down to FG of 1.013. I was getting some jumping globs of yeast at the bottom of the carboy, which I suspect was off gassing giving some flocs a ride. This was still apparent, but minimal, when I racked on to .33 oz of EKG in secondary on day 8. Tasted ok. A bit fruity and perhaps a tad too bitter (see above). Based on some reading, I probably fermented too warm which upped the fruitiness. Still, I'm looking forward to seeing how it develops.

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.
