WARNING: Kettle losses > 2% detected which throw off OG calculation for extract/partial mash recipes in batch target 'fermentor' mode. Solution: Reduce kettle losses, misc losses and hops absorption in equipment profile, OR set batch target to 'kettle' and do a full wort boil. See batch target FAQ.

Notes


This recipe is essentially a Belgian Wit, but fermented with Saison yeast. A really simple, tasty summery wheat beer.

Steep the oats at 150-155 for 30 minutes. These oats can be left out of the recipe for a crisper/lighter flavor, but I really like the recipe as-is.

3711 is a beast of a yeast. It takes even extract recipes REALLY dry.
