Brewer's Notes
NOTE: Yeast was not Whitelabs. I used WYEAST 3724 (Saison). Not listed on ingredients database. My second Saison (no chill). The 4 aroma hop plugs were bagged and added to the 2 cubes. Only tasted via racking to the kegs. 1 keg was primed with 160g of white sugar and will allow it to carbonate. 2nd keg was innoculated with the dregs of 2 bottles of Orval. This will condition for around 8 weeks and I'll then probably bottle it. Tasting from primary fermenter was promising. Fermented @ 30 degrees for 3 weeks has produced a nice 'fruit salad' type of character that will improve as the yeast sediments. Flavour seems nicer and more well-rounded than last year's which IMO suffered too much from spec. malts. This year's vintage has none at all. Full tasting notes to come.
