    Saison fermentation question

    I haven’t used that saison yeast but have tried a fair few. I’ve never had one take longer than 2 weeks,usually done on lesss than 7 . and they always finish way lower than predicted n but that’s also an odd recipe. No idea why you would want 8% carapils and 8% Crystal in a saison.

    First run at BIAB - recipe questions

    Standard boil will be 60 minutes. I have done just under 30 biab batches and have messed with sparging and haven’t found much benefit from the extra work. I just do full Volume mashes. Pull out the Bag and let it drain then start the boil. I do a mash out at 75 for 10 mins after mash so that...

    Just use whatever pale malt they have. Crystal 150 would be classed as medium crystal

    single vs triple layer kettle

    I have their 50l in the triple and a high pressure burner it works great. Only thing I found at first is it holds allot of heat . I usually stop a few degrees short of mash temp as it keeps rising after I shut off the burner as the base stays hot longer., If I over shoot takes ages to cool down...

    A stolen idea.
