Notes

Tweaked this popular recipe: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/threads/cottage-house-saison.254684/

1.5 tsp fresh ground black pepper at 5 min, 1# honey added at 1 min

Mash temp dropped too low (was 145 for 45 min), reduced efficiency (expected 68%, only achieved 63%)

68 deg for 4 days (sitting in bath of water, will let slowly self rise), then bring up to 78 for 3 weeks, return to 68 for 1 week. No secondary. Bottle at ~4 weeks, bottle condition for 6 weeks.

FG was 1.003, WY3711 is a beast! 7.5% ABV, higher than expected.

First tasting at 2 weeks bottled: Pretty dang good! Looking forward to enjoying them after another month of conditioning. So far, nicely balanced, the driving flavor is the yeast (which I love), and definitely left me wanting more. It definitely hid the 7.5% ABV and is an excellent saison!
