Notes

thinking about doing this for a kit for work recipe version with
60 min Boil
6.6lbs Pilsen Light LME
1 lbs Bavarian Wheat DME
8oz Flaked Rye
8oz Flaked Oats for steeping
1 Whirlfloc @ 10min
2 lbs honey @ flameout

HOPS:
0.25 oz Nelson Sauvin @ 60min
2 oz Dolcita @ 5 Min

recommend using dry fermenting yeast such as French Saison or Belgian Saison if more Fruitiness is desired over phenol & Esthery flavors.
