Qld Xmas case Swap 2014- 6 Dec

[seehuusen]

Tonys Summer Saison is a good beer.

Actually I just ordered grains for a stronger double batch from Martin up in Harvey bay.
Going to tweak the recipe with Australian hops and call it an Aussie Summer Saison it will have summer hops in it, 6%aa and grapefruit profile. I'm excited!

 

[Guvner77]

Would love to attend but my work Xmas party is the same night.

 

[angus_grant]

Pffft, what's work ever done for you?
Put on at least 20 kegs of craft beer for you to smash until no longer possible?
I doubt it.

I'm fully expecting my work Christmas party to be same night, it always clashes with something, last 3 years has been Roar home games but that should be clear this season, that leaves this and brew club Christmas party, I'll be opting for the shindigs with good beer.

 

[leahy268]

Would love to be in it but just checking the calendar I'm pretty sure I'm going away that week.
You know family time.
I think attending might put me in the doghouse..

My mouth just filled with saliva

 

[seehuusen]

Double batch of the Saison brewed up yesterday evening and yeast pitched this morning (Belle Saison from Lallemand).
I upped the cube hopping a little, as I really wanted some of those aromas from the Summer hops to come through (I don't want to overpower the yeast flavours though).
I'm not sure if I'll use a little less dry hop or just go with what I had planned...
That decision is probably 3 weeks away anyway.
I'm expecting this to not be bottled for at least this month. Then another month and a bit in the bottle to condition, should be prime for when the meet is :chug:

I'll be bringing a few extra bottles down of it for people to taste

 

[hwall95]

I pitched my saison with the WY3724 last sunday so it should be interesting to see the difference between the two yeast strain. Hopefully the warm weather will help it not stall and it will be finished by the end on the this or the following month - may need a few weeks after swap to mature though, but can't wait! :chug:

 

[angus_grant]

Currently fermenting a saison but you buggers aren't getting it.

Actually I've no idea how it is going to turn out. It was meant to be an APA, but I did not have the right hops on hand, severely stuck recirc, etc, etc, etc. Just a mother of all fuckups brew. Then Liam challenged me to throw a saison yeast at it. So we have the MOFU Saison. 1060 gravity so should have a fairly severe kick in the pants if it ferments out to 1008 which my others have. I'll bring some bottles along to the swap if they last that long. I'll put them in the shed and hope I will forget about them. I've got some robust porters in the shed to bring as well if I can successfully forget about them.

Problem is that I need to remember about them just before the swap... :lol:

My saisons ferment out in 4-5 days. Are you guys just leaving it in the fermentor or is your ferment taking that long?

 

[hwall95]

I'm just planning to leave it there, as in 2 weeks time I'll be busy with end of semester uni ****, so thought I may of just leave it to clean up and condition for a month and bit.

Safe to say my saison will be a bit nicer with a OG of only 1.050.. I'll try to remember to bring a few strong old ales that I've had bottle conditioning since March (A yet to taste due to promise I made earlier in the year...) and I would bring some of my current IPA along but there only 15 bottles left so I have feeling my mates might make it disappear pretty fast :unsure:

Hopefully have a few other types to share around by then though :chug:

 

[seehuusen]

it'd be interesting to try a few different Saisons, especially with differing yeasts.

I bottled an IPA a few weeks back, and it was massacred a couple of nights ago, with the remainder being dragged camping this weekend
I should probably make another one before the meet. I'm trying to smash out as many brews as I can, in preparation for the mad Chrissy season with all the family turning up

 

[seehuusen]

My saisons ferment out in 4-5 days. Are you guys just leaving it in the fermentor or is your ferment taking that long?

I'm doing it because I'm away for a bit of this month, plus I was under the impression that it was the norm with Saison style beer to let them mature on the yeast for longer, and thus reach an even higher attenuation?

I think the speed it finishes is dependent on which yeast you use as well.
Apparently the Belle Saison is a lot quicker than the Wyeast 3724

Hey fellas, I am regrettably going to have to pull out of this...

Just got engaged and we're having the engagement party at home in early December, so I'm pretty much going to have to use all my brewing time brewing for the party...

BJCP (if you care about that sort of thing) has saisons ranging from 1048 to 1065 so still within style. Grain and hops certainly aren't in style: all BB Ale + bunch of galaxy and C hops, baby.

American Pale Saison?

Should end up around 6.8%. So a nice sessionable saison.. h34r:

 

[Liam_snorkel]

Sounds like a good summer smasher. The beer that smashes you.
