- 3.5 oz
Saphir - 3.8 AA% pellets; boiled 60 min
Saphir
Similar to Hallertauer Mittelfrüher and is well suited as an aroma hop.

- 2 ea
Orange Peel (dried) - Zest 2 oranges, add 5 minutes before end of boil (omitted from calculations)
Orange Peel (dried)
Has a fragrantt sweet odor and a subtle mild sweetness. One medium orange has about 3 tablespoons of grated peel.
- 2 ea
Lemon zest - Zest 2 lemons, add 5 minutes before end of boil (omitted from calculations)
Lemon zest
Has a slight sweet odor and a subtle mild sweetness. One medium lemon has about 3 tablespoons of grated peel.
- 2 tsp
Irish Moss - Crush tablets, add 15 minutes before end of boil (omitted from calculations)
Irish Moss
A dried red-brown marine algae. Fining agent to remove large proteins. Negatively charged polymer attracts positively charged protein-tannin complexes (extracted from grain husks and hops) during the boil. This action is aided by the clumping of proteins in the boiling process. Irish moss settles to the bottom of the brew kettle with spent hops and hot break material at the end of the boil.
- 1/2 tsp
Wyeast Nutrient - Hydrate, add 15 minutes before end of boil (omitted from calculations)
Wyeast Nutrient
Although wort is a good growth medium for yeast, additional Wyeast Nutrient will reduce lag time, improve yeast viability and provide consistent attenuation rates. Low assimilable nitrogen concentrations (FAN) of grape must or wort have long been known as a cause of sluggish or stuck fermentations. Wyeast yeast nutrient, a blend of vitamin B's, minerals, inorganic nitrogen (DAP), organic nitrogen (amino acids), zinc, phosphates and other trace elements will benefit yeast growth and carbohydrate uptake for a more rapid, complete fermentation. Use 1/4 tsp per pint for beer propagation, 1 tsp per 5 gallons for wine or beer fermentation or 1.5 oz per 10 barrels for beer fermentation.
- 1 tsp
Grains of Paradise - Crushed, added at 5 minutes before end of boil (omitted from calculations)
Grains of Paradise
Pungent peppery flavor.

Wyeast 3724 Belgian Saison™
Wyeast 3724 Belgian Saison™
Classic farmhouse ale yeast. Spicy and complex aromatics including bubble gum. Very tart and dry on palate with mild fruit. Finishes crisp and mildly acidic.
Notes
Prepare 1 liter of yeast starter of Wyeast French Saison 3711 Mash at 153 degrees. Boil for 30 minutes before adding hops. Add 1/2 tsp crushed Grains of Paradise, zests and sugar to boil 5 minutes before end. Add EKG hops after stopping boil. Chill to 72 degrees. Aerate! Pitch. Once fermentation has started, apply heat (using a heating pad or blanket) 5 degrees per day until it reaches 75 degrees. Ferment for 2 weeks or until terminal. Allow to come to room temp. Condition 2 more weeks on yeast. Cork and cage and priming sugar. I made invert sugar by using 1 lb of white cane and 1 lb of Raw cane sugar boiled for 1 hour with 1/2 tsp of citric acid. Bottle condition warm for at least 2 weeks. Final Brix was 16.5 which should produce 8.9% alcohol.

Discussion
Corked and caged

I racked it off the yeast into another 5 gallon carboy with 4 oz of corn sugar in 2 cups of water boiled for a few minutes. Corked and caged on 4/28/14. Tasted great as usual. I get a lot of compliments on this Saison and I think it's better than a lot of the commercial Saisons I buy for between $8-$15. I got 50 750 ML bottles and 5 12 oz bottles. Much cheaper than buying if you don't include your labor.
Tasting good

The carbonation is getting very drinkable. Has a little sweetness which I think will subside in another month. The head retention isn't as good as when I used torrified wheat but all in all still a good batch.
