Saison L'Orange
Saison • Partial Mash • 5.5 gal
Brewed this on 2/16. LHBS didn't have White Labs Saison, so used White Labs Abbey (WLP530) instead. Had to change out my blowoff bottle today because it had filled up -- nice banana esters from it. I may add a second 1/2oz of bitter orange to the secondary along with the Saaz, since I haven't noticed orange aroma yet and really want to age this one until summer.

...too soon. Racked on 2/20. SG was still at 1.019 and I filled the carboy to the neck... ended up with a plume of yeast. It's a beautiful orange color though.
