Notes: This session-strength Saison of summer pours tawnygold and perfumes the air with tangy yeast and pungent hop aromas. The flavor is lightly earthy with spicy, flowery hops and a grain-and-bread malt character; caramel malt dukes it out with Saaz and Styrian Goldings (Celeia) through the middle before a palate-cleansingly dry finish. The blend of malt and hops combine to bring out the best in the real star of this sprightly Belgian ale: Wyeast’s immensely popular Saison strain.

Lalvin 71B two packs
1.25 gallon local orange blossom honey
Well water
Pitch at 60F
Aerate with O2 for 20 seconds. Added 1/2 nutrient in one cup water
staggered nutrient every other day to complete additions.
fermenting at 62F
August 21- airlock still showing activity ~ 3 bubbles per minute
Sept 20 SG = 1.022. No airlock activity. Taste is still very sweet. strong alcohol notes. Needs more time. After opening bucket, flooded it with CO2 prior to reclosure
Oct 11. SG = 1.020 transfered ~ 2 g to cabroy containing 3 # raspberry puree
remainder transfered to secondary. Still too sweet.
1/7/17 The raspberry batch SG dropped to 1.010 but still tasted too sweet (other wise good!)
The main batch was about 1.018 and too sweet. (otherwise good) Made a 100 mL slurry of champagne yeast and added ca65 mL to the big batch and 35 mL to the raspberry batch.
2/24/17 tested the raspberry mead: SG = 1.004 Tastes good! Bottle time! CAP label M2

Notes: This was my first brew and I think it has turned out pretty good. I just bottled it and will be anxious to crack it open in 2 weeks. Before bottling the taste was right where you would want it for a blonde. I am just hoping both the malt and bitterness mellow a little bit and just flow together. Im pretty excited. I am going to try in July to do this same recipe but All Grain. |

Notes: 1. In a large brew pot, boil 3 gallons of water.
2. With the pot removed from the burner, add 2 lbs honey. Make sure to stir the water so the honey dissolves completely and doesn’t burn on the botttom of the pot. When the honey fully dissolved, return the pot to the burner.
3. As the liquid starts boiling again, add 1/2 0z Saaz pellet hops, boil for 15 minutes then add another ½ oz Saaz hops for another 15 min.
4. At the end of the boil, remove the pot from the burner and let cool to about 90 degrees fahrenheit. Add and dissolve the remaining 4 lbs of honey along with the juice of one lemon.
5. Add the must to a primary fermenter, aerate the heck out of it, and pitch the yeast.
6. Seal fermentor with airlock and store in a dark place at a temperature of about 70 degrees.
7. After 2 weeks, with a siphon, re-rack the mead into a sanitized 3 gallon carboy.
8. Add the remaining 1 oz of hops in a muslin bag to the secondary.
After 2 weeks, re-rack, then let age for 4 months (age through the summer).
9. Dissolve the corn sugar in 1 cup warm water and add to carboy.
10. Fill sanitized bottles and let age for another 2 weeks. |
