Saison dÉpeautre
Ale - Belgian Pale AleAll Grain
Brewer's Notes
The Weyermann pale wheat should really be raw Spelt (d'Epeautre), a culinary grain similar to wheat. The spelt could be subsituted with raw wheat. Brasserie Blaugies make a Siason with 33% raw spelt, this was my inspiration.
The hops could be substituded for any continental variety or EKG, Northdown etc. The Melanoidin and Amber also could be changed for Vienna, Munich, Pils or similar, though caramel or crystal would probably overpower the subtle sophistication from the spelt.
The T-58 gave pleasant pepperyness and low Bubblegum at 20 degrees and was an absolute hit with everyone and I will brew it again soon, maybe at 22 degrees.
Mash;
Infusion 15L to 65 degrees for 60 min,
then infusion 6L to 72 degrees for 20 min,
then batch sparge with 19L
The T-58 is a medium attenuator, so with the low mash temp apparent attenuation was 75% - perfect for summer!
