This is the discussion topic for the recipe: Nudist Saison

No hops in this one?

No hops in this one?

Possibly why it is called the Nudist.

I like to brew naked :lol:

Sorry about the delay missus came home from work for lunch.

Blew the keg on this one on the weekend, was very tasty indeed.

IMO found the perfect use for calypso. Tried it in various brews including 60ibu in a smash. Goes very well with the flavours thrown by 3711, adds some tartish apple/ lemon and black pepper. The golden naked oats add some colour and a little body/mouthfeel which i think helps with a ravenous yeast like 3711. May up from 10% to 15% next go.
Had a pretty cool winter so haven't had the chance to try belgian saison yeast with this recipe, not sure i would bother as works well with the better behaved frenchy.

I used Golden Nudist Oats in a saison a couple of brews back and they really work well in the style. The beer is dry, but they add a slight creamyness to the beer that works great.

cheers

They do add something special for sure. This recipe is really an evolved one of yours so hope you don't mind
