Fermentis T-58 Safbrew T-58
Fermentis T-58 Safbrew T-58
Estery, somewhat spicy ale yeast. Solid yeast formation at end of fermentation. Widely used for bottle and cask conditioning. Pitching instructions: Re-hydrate the dry yeast into yeast cream in a stirred vessel prior to pitching. Sprinkle the dry yeast in 10 times its own weight of sterile water or wort at 27C ± 3C. Once the expected weight of dry yeast is reconstituted into cream by this method (this takes about 15 to 30 minutes), maintain a gentle stirring for another 30 minutes. Then pitch the resultant cream into the fermentation vessel. Alternatively, pitch dry yeast directly in the fermentation vessel providing the temperature of the wort is above 20C. Progressively sprinkle the dry yeast into the wort ensuring the yeast covers all the surface of wort available in order to avoid clumps. Leave for 30 minutes and then mix the wort e.g. using aeration.

Recipe looks great! Plan on brewing it next but have a questions about the peppercorns. Are they whole peppercorns? Also when did you add the spices to the boil? Thanks.
Thanks for the comment

I used a 60 minute boil. I added the peppercorns, coriander, and orange peel with 15 minutes left in the boil. Good luck and I hope you enjoy. fred

Whole peppercorns

Sadly, your recipe looks delicious, but it reflects the poor training of most beer judges. This brew is completely out of spec for a saison. It should havew been judged as a strong Belgian Ale.
