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. |

Ferment at 68, finish at 72.
Recipe says its done in 6 days...but not. I left it finish for two weeks before kegging.
Defintely had taste of a belgian ale. No "pilsner" to be found IMO based on some recipe notes. Good beer but not great. |
