Notes

This is a 2.8 Gal (10 Liter) recipe 1.25 qt + 10 oz per pound of grains = 8.5 qt in the mash. Sparge is 7 qt for a total of 3.875 gallons.

My post boil OG on this was 1.060 (refractometer) using this exact recipe and that's what the original recipe called for. This is a DIY clone of Northern Brewer Lemondrop Saison

Fermentation Schedule: 2 weeks in a single vessel fermenter. Started Fermentation at 65 (f) and ramped up to 70 degrees (f) over the course of the two week fermentation. With FG at 1.002 i purged carboy with CO2 and lagered for 6 weeks then bottle conditioned for another 3-4 weeks.
