Saison • All Grain • 5.5 gal

kappel

Fermented very dry and very fruity and earthy. Amazing aroma; I will definitely brew with this yeast strain again. Must keep the fermentation temperature above 75 degrees F. or the yeast will poop out. It took three weeks in secondary at 75 degrees before it reached terminal gravity.
