Notes: This recipe will pave the way towards a delicious and refreshing Saison. However - as a uniquely yeast driven style - the fermentation temperatures will have a tremendous influence on the final product.

The colour is gold and slightly hazy. The beer is dry and refreshingly crisp with light biscuit and caramel malt body. Wheat brightens the taste and improves head retention for this well carbonated brew. Saison yeast conjures delicious scents of bubble gum, cloves and black pepper.

The hop profile compliments the spicy esters produced by Saison yeast as well as enhance fruity and floral aromas. Note that the hop utilization is adjusted for my own equipment, a boil off rate of 3qts/hour and decreased alpha acid levels due to estimated age of hops.

Using fresh and properly stored liquid yeast, a starter will not be required.

A multi-step mash is employed.

Collect runnings, boil.

Add hops as indicated.

Cool and aerate wort.

Pitch Saison yeast and begin fermenting at “room temperature”, normally about 68-72°F, but whatever the temperature of your room will do.

I add the invert sugar directly into the fermenter when fermentation starts to slow down, around day 3. This ingredient is indicated as being added to “boil kettle” simply so that we can see it added to our OG.

Continue in primary at room temperature for a total of 2-3 weeks.

Bottle priming is traditional for this style. The dextrose for bottling is included in the recipe. Listing the sugar additions this way allows us to see the final alcohol percentage reflected in the recipe data.

♦ SESSION NOTES:
United Kingdom - Crystal 45L was changed out to US Crystal 40 (Phantom).
American Munich Light 10L was changed out to Best Malz (German) Munich Malt (Phantom).
Changed first addition hop from 0.9 to 1.0 oz.
Phantom didn't have WLP810 in stock so San Francisco WLP840 American Lager was used as substitute!
Started with 8.00 gallons of water. Too much water. 13.5 pds of grain did not seem to absorb as much after sparging. had to boil extra half hours to get it down to 5.5 gals final amount. 8.00 gallons will be the max. Changed again. End of Brew: left with 5 gallons. Had to add 1/2 gallons for 5.50.

♦♦ Use 3 Vials of San Francisco Lager Yeast WLP810 @ 62° CHANGE! 2 vials of WLP840 American Ale Yeast will be used.

WLP810 San Francisco Lager Yeast.
This yeast is used to produce the "California Common" style beer. A unique lager strain which has the ability to ferment up to 65 degrees while retaining lager characteristics. Can also be fermented down to 50 degrees for production of marzens, pilsners and other style lagers.
Optimum Ferment Temp. 58-65°F (14-18°C)

WLP840 American Lager This yeast is used to produce American style lagers. Dry and clean with a very slight apple fruitiness. Sulfur and diacetyl production is minimal. Attenuation: 75-80% Flocculation: Medium Optimum Fermentation Temperature: 50-55°F Alcohol Tolerance: Medium

♦ Northern Brewer Hops - Origin and Description
Northern Brewer Hops is an England native who is seeing its days live out mainly in Germany and the U.S. There is a separate U.S. hops variety that was bred in the United States that has similar properties. This dual use hops had a higher alpha acid content for the time, however super alphas have doubled, even tripled the content since back in the day. With that said Northern Brewer hops grown in Germany, sometimes referred to as Hallertau Northern Brewer if grown in the region, has made its mark and is used throughout beer styles such as European Ales, Lagers, and Pilsners. It is also synonymous with steam beers as in Anchor Steam.

Northern Brewer hops is used for both bittering and aroma additions in the kettle. It has an alpha acid content of 7.0%-10.0% and is a well rounded variety. The bitterness is moderate and the aroma comes off as plump. As one of Germany's main high alpha hops, Northern Brewer is both versatile yet refined.
