Notes

BYO April 2017 Issue mimicking a Brasserie Thiriez Rustic French Ale.

Alternate aroma hops: Czech Saaz
Yeast alternatives: white Labs WLP590 French Saison Ale, Wyeast 3711 French Saison, Lallemand Belle Saison

This is a multi-step infusion mash:

Dough-in the grains at 113 deg F in 10 qts of water, and hold this temperature for 15 minutes.
Raise the temperature by infusion of 5.8 qts boiling water, to 145 deg F for a beta-amylase rest. Hold for 45 minutes.
Raise mash bed by infusion or direct heat to 162 deg F and hold for 20 minutes for an alpha-amylase rest.
Sparge with 168 deg F water until 6.5 gallons are collected.

Boil the wort for 75 minutes, adding the hops at times indicated in the ingredients list.

Chill to 70 deg F. Oxygenate, then pitch the yeast.

Ferment at 72 deg F until fermentation is complete, about five days. Cool the beer to 54 deg F for two weeks. Cool the beer to 40 deg F and condition an additional week. Drop to 35 deg F and add gelatin fining.

Transfer beer to keg and force carbonate to 2.5 to 3 volumes.
