Notes

This beer was brewed as a 10 gallon batch and was fermented using Danstar Belle Saison dry yeast. Fermentation kicked off vigorously within hours.

After only one week in the primary at 78 degrees this beer fermented down to 1.001 and tasted great. I'll let it sit in the secondary for a couple weeks then bottle and keg around 7/25.

To clarify, the name "sweet as" comes from New Zealand slang since I'm using all down under hops. The beer is intended to finish very dry, not sweet, but it will be Sweet As!

Next time I will reduce the fermentation temp a couple degrees and I will also use seeds of paradise instead of orange peel and coriander.
