Rye (Pregelatinized Flakes); Briess
Rye (Pregelatinized Flakes); Briess
Characteristics & Applications: • Pregelatinized Rye Flakes have been produced specifically for brewing, developing characteristics necessary for easy and efficient use in a brewhouse. The process of gelatinizing makes the starches readily soluble and digestible by the naturally occurring enzymes in barley malt. This allows the flakes to be incorporated directly into the mash with other grains. • Because flakes have a large surface area and are pre-cooked, they hydrate and disintegrate quickly. Filtration time will be normal. • There is no need to mill Rye Flakes. However, they can be put through the mill if that is the easiest means of adding them to the mash. • Pregelatinized Rye Flakes are made from choice rye that is guaranteed ergo-free. Rye Flakes contribute a very clean, distinctive rye flavor. • Use up to 40% as a cereal adjunct in the total grist to create Rye Beer. • Start at 5-10% and increase in increments of 5% because of the concentrated flavor of Rye Flakes.

Wyeast 3711 French Saison
Wyeast 3711 French Saison
A very versatile strain that produces Saison or farmhouse style beers as well as other Belgian style beers that are highly aromatic (estery), peppery, spicy and citrusy. This strain enhances the use of spices and aroma hops, and is extremely attenuative but leaves an unexpected silky and rich mouthfeel. This strain can also be used to re-start stuck fermentations or in high gravity beers.

Well i wanted to use the french saison yeast for a fruity tart profile. Only had begian so it was slightly peppery and phenolic.complex flavor ... A good sipper but not a quencher. I think i would add more ginger and maybe a quarter ounce lemongrass.
