RecipeDB - BullsHead Summer Saison

[Tanga]

Should be done in 8 days, around 1.005 FG (depending on how high the OG was of course)

Thanks winkle, OG was 1048. I hope you're right, I think I'm going to call it "The Dirty Farmer" if it works out.

Are any of the yeasts available as dried yeast?

I'll have to google saison, first i'd heard of it when i read this thread...but i'll be reading more.

Add a bit of Brett and you could call it Brett the funky farmer

Ummmmmmmmmmmmm............ no!

get a liquid, smack it, let it swell, pour it in........ easy as that!

Ok thanks. It's just that i have temp tolerant yeasts (dry) here that are good up to 40C and wondered it that was the only requirement or if the yeast had to be one that delivers certain flavours.

Belgian yeast strains are distinctive for the strong and various flavor profiles the contribute to a beer. The Wyeast Belgian Saison (and no doubt the other Saison strains - I have not tried them yet) has a very distinctive profile. Buy yourself a bottle of the Dupont Saison and try!

Man....... talk about pissed off.

Last night i noticed Ross had Wyeast farmhouse ale in stock............. i have been waiting for this to come back for a long time!

I got all excited and started an order........ Ooooooo Saison with farmhouse ale

I had to get up and sort out my kids, then got distracted, then cooked dinner, then put kids to bed........... and when i sat down a few hours later and placed the order.......... some low life had putrchased the last of them.

The hide of them :angry:

thank god G&G had some in stock and i have a pack on its way.

Also ordered a french saison to try out.

So this summer i plan to do at least 3 saisons.... one with farmhouse ale, one belgian and one french.

BRING ON THE HEAT!

I have plans for exactly the same thing (3 saisons, different yeasts, same grist and hops) and ordered the farmhouse PC about two weeks ago (GG). Unfortunately they were out of stock but had some ordered. Should arrive soon hopefully.

Thanks mate. Went looking in the only bottlo in town that specialises in good beers.

He has 60-80 of em i spose, but nothing as far as belgian beers or saison.
Closest was a belgian witbier. i didn't buy it as i thought it would be a different yeast again.

Saison has a dry, slightly tart acidic finnish with some funky kind of fruitiness.

Its not a Big WOW beer like American IPA or Belgian strong darks, its more of a subtle, funky fruity ale....... that dry and tart and makes a great summer quaffer.

Try finding it on line and order one to try. Make sure you like it first.

I had a bottle of the Prickeley Moses farmhouse ale and Saison a little while back and they were fine beers as well.

cheers

 

[punkin]

Thanks Tony. I thought of doing that and then i thought it would be just as cheap to order a packet of yeast on line and then i'd have a million litres of it.


I'll see how i go in the near future. B)

 

[Tony]

thank god G&G had some in stock and i have a pack on its way.

And on checking Ross has it back in stock......... FFS.

and from reading above... G&G is out of stock........ FFS.

Sigh...............

Oh well..... will just have to see what lucky dip turns up i guess

Pack of Belgian and French (and 1469, though that's for another thread) arriving this week from Gryphon...such a great style of beer for summer. :chug:
Can't wait to have another crack at one.

Wooo Hoooooooo

I so want a run with farmhouse this summer!

 

[Nick JD]

Tony, have you tried Ommegang's Hennepin?

It's kinda like a Saison triple, if that makes sense.

I so want a run with farmhouse this summer!

Don't you think it would be rather heavy?

[Tony]

Mmmmm i made a few saisons early on that were to style.... more amber and alcaholic but i just couldnt enjoy them.

I remember speaking with Trent at an early HUB meeting and he said he liked to make a Saison pale and low OG to give it a real Aussie summer drinkability..... thats where the inspiration for this recipe came from.

I really enjoyed the beer made with this recipe and i will be using it to make the same beer with the different yeasts to test what i like best......

cant wait

Actually.... i may get out a bottle of starter from the freezer and get it (12 month old belgian saison vial) sterted for brewing on the 26/27th whick is the wifes working weekend

 

[esssee]

Tony,

The Hallertauer addition at 0 mins. Is that at flame out or dry hopped?

 

[petesbrew]

Cracked the grain for this up last night. Cheers for sharing, Tony.
I started up an unknown (but delicious smelling) farmhouse yeast that's been sitting in the brewfridge for a while.

Ha! Funny you should mention that. I was thinking of putting some in a small demi with some brett / lacto dregs. A bit late for this batch though, as she's already down to 1012. Wy.3726 is a cracker. The taste from the sight tube was promising. I think dark saisons will become a regular at my place. The mix of Saison funk and roasty biscuity malt is amazing.
