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.
