Notes

Saison's have seen a return to form in American craft purveyors. What was once essentially a table beer, with low ABV and easy to drink by the masses, we've decided to follow suit in the bastardization of the style while also incorporating an ancestral call back in the form of Spelt Malt.

Kept ABV and IBU's to match style. Leaned more on the heavier side for the gravity of the style, while trying to balance the alcohol with a dry finish. The farmhouse yeast strain will provide that dry finish. Balanced water profile for the dual emphasis on the malt and the hops.

Looking for a thin bodied bread-y saison with tones of melon fruits.

Honestly spelt makes me kinda sad, but Spenser wanted to try to redeem it in the eyes of society, and we all know how alcohol makes things look better.

Remember, your ending kettle volume should be 6.5 gallons. Also, our boil off rate is 1 gallon per hour. Be sure to adjust your water volumes accordingly. For the sake of simplicity, I would also round you water volumes for mash and sparge to the nearest quart. Acceptably simple grainbill and a solid yeast choice.

Saaz and Simcoe do not lend melon fruit flavor. Look at Huell Melon and Rakau hops.
