Notes

Steep grains at 152-156F for 45 minutes.

Spices should be ground. Be careful not to get any of the white pith when zesting the orange.

Every flavor from the spices, hops, orange zest, and especially the yeast esters come through in this beer, but all are incredibly subtle. The ECY-08 took the gravity all the way down to 1.004 so it's very dry and almost crisp.

This beer took best of show at a somewhat small competition. It also made it to the best of show round at a local homebrew club competition. I have also had many folks say that they've never enjoyed a Saison until trying this one. I put a lot of work into the research, planning and brewing of this beer. I'm pretty damned proud of it, but I owe a lot of credit for the recipe to many members of the Annapolis Homebrew Club. The only thing I would change is to up the flavor and aroma hops just a bit. Now to convert the recipe to all-grain.

Steep grains at 152-156F for 45 minutes.
