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.

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 149 for 90 minutes. Boil 30 minutes before adding hops. Add 1 tsp crushed Grains of Paradise, zests and sugar to boil 5 minutes before end. Add EKG hops after stopping boil. Chill to 66 degrees. Oxygenate! Pitch. Once fermentation has started, apply heat (using a heating pad or blanket) a few degrees per day until it reaches 80 degrees. Ferment for 2 weeks or until terminal. Allow to come to room temp. Condition 2 more weeks on yeast. Cork and cage with 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.

Primed, corked and caged
2014-07-13 3:19pm
I kegged 5 gallons and corked and caged the other 6. The kegged beer tasted great but doesn't have the same mouth feel as the carbonation is different than a corked and caged bottle. The alcohol sneaks up on you as it's not very noticeable. I think this will be a good one in a month or so. I'll let you know. Every variation of this Saison has been as good or better than what I buy.
Corked and caged tasting

I used 5 oz of corn sugar to prime the 6 gallon batch. I think it's much better this way than on tap. Much better carbonation after just two weeks in the bottle and it should get better after a month. I think this is going to be my best one.
