Hey all,
I just thought I'd push out one more brew using some 3711 slurry I have on hand since I am really enjoying this yeast at the moment.
To mix things up from the previous two brews using this yeast (berry wheat and standard saison), I was looking at doing a hoppy black saison
I was thinking something along the lines of the following;
50% pils
20% wheat
20% munich
5% cara
3% choc
2% roast
1.050
late NS and Amarillo to ~40IBU
3711
Has anyone done something similar with decent results or is this just a recipe that will go downhill pretty quickly?
Bit of inspiration came from the 8 wired sauvin saison and read somewhere about someone doing a dark saison with roast barley and I'm pretty sure they said it worked pretty well together
I could imagine the yeast going well with the fruity mix of NS and amarillo, but not so sure about the roasted/choc malts. Wasn't sure if the attenuation of this yeast would make for the roast flavours being too strong/harsh
Any feedback would be great
