Step by Step
Using 1.3 qts. per pound of grain, mash in at 146 °F (63 °C), rest for 10 minutes, then raise temperature to 152 °F (67 °C) and hold for 40 minutes. Increase temperature to 162 °F (72 °C) for final 10 minutes. Recirculate about 10 minutes to set the grain bed then sparge and collect 7 gallons (26 L).
Boil 90 minutes, adding the hops per the instructions. Add the cane sugar and honey at knockout, stirring well to dissolve. Chill rapidly to 65 °F (18 °C), pitch plenty of yeast (at least two packs with a starter), and oxygenate thoroughly. After 24 hours of fermentation, add the cherry purees. After 12–14 days, drop the beer about 6 °F (3 °C) per day for four days to help the beer clear. Rack the beer into a keg and force carbonate to 2.7 volumes, or prime and bottle condition. If bottle conditioning, leave the beer at 70–75 °F (21–24 °C) for at least two weeks.

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. |

Apparently rye is optional; historic recipes just with corn adjunct.

Notes: Mash at 149 for 75 minutes
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. |

Notes: After mashing boil for 15 minutes to boil off any oxygen from wort, transfer carefully to bucket and make sure you dont leave any head space to avoid contact with oxygen, lower ph down to 4.5 with lactic acid, add 330g of probiotic containing Lactobacillus rhamnosus.
Store it on temperature of 37°C for 24h. It should bring down ph to 3.2.
Transfer sour wort back to kettle and boil for 60 minutes, adding 5g of cascade hops 30 minutes from end of boil. Cool down to 18°C and transfer to fermenter, pitch US-05.
Add 2.5 kg frozen raspberries to primary for 3 days after primary fermentation is done, filter to bottling bucket and add 200g of dextrose, stir slowly to avoid unnecesary oxidation.
