Notes: Brewed on 6/10/2017:
Mash grains at 152F for 60 min. Taste wort
Boil wort for 60 minutes. Added 3 lb of honey at flame out.
Pitch 750 ml yeast starter of Wyest 3724 Belgian Saison yeast.
Bubbling at 51 seconds - clearly not done gassing.
Checked gravity on 6/22/17 - 1.022
6/22/2017 Rack the beer from the primary into the secondary, then
added yeast energizer, 1.5 lbs of roasted rhubarb and 3 lbs (1/2 pureed, 1/2 crushed) strawberries in a grain bag and weighed it down with a glass.
6/28/17
Checked gravity and mouth feel
gravity 1.0012 so almost there
still fizzy transferred to tertiary bottling bucket to get off the fruit. still foamy
More time
7/2/2017
FG 1.012 adjusted for 77F
Approximate ABV at bottling: 6.8%
Bottle fermentation may raise it to around 7%
Time to bottle
Beer advocate says - "The bottle carbonation process is a controlled fermentation of ... especially highly carbonated saisons, the abv goes up about .2 - .4 % abv."
Fruit Iambic 3.0 - 4.5 volumes which translates to DME: 8.8 oz.
This batch produced 5.7 gallons with minor loss including a snapped bottle neck
Yield in containment:
44 12 oz bottles
6 22 oz Craft Brew bottles
4 16 oz Grolsch bottles
2 1/2 liter bottles
They should be ready to drink by

Notes: 2/2025 Batch 6 - 6 lbs frozen puree var Zara. 10 bags of hibiscus tea (Republic of Tea Hibiscus Superflower Tea in 2 cups boiling water).
11/2023 - Batch 4: Last time the amount of fruit was 4.5 lb in about 5 gallons, frozen, pureed with lots of pectinase added. Adding pectinase to the ingredients. Used about 1/3 of the bottle from BSG (28g total) or about 9-10 grams.
The first two batches, I tried to put in 10 lb, but it was a struggle to fit and made it quite difficult to work with. 5 lb or 1 lb/gallon seemed to work, but the berries I'm using are very flavorful. Regular store-bought ones would likely need more lbs/gallon or boosting with extract.
added pectinase, 1 oz/28g Barbe Rouge, and 5 lb strawberry puree (frozen + food processor) on day 5. Delay due to illness. I think 2 days would have been perfectly post-krausen.
3/2023
Sticking with Barbe Rouge. Newest batch is smaller, putting 5 lbs/5 gallons. This was possibly the best batch I've made.
Substituting lots of things to try out a new yeast (sundew) and hops (HBC 630). Tried Zamba as dry hop and worked. Shifting to Barbe Rouge to accent red fruit.
Added hibiscus tea to attempt 2 (Zamba) to give a more acidic note and also a little bit more color. Turned out very nicely.

Original Authors notes:
This has been my go to ale recipe for years. It is light, flavorful, and loved by everyone who pulls a pint. You could dry it out a bit by adding a pound of suar or maze in the boil, but it stands well on its own.I brew it at least once a month. I never shared it until now as a friend of mine entered it into a local comp and won 1st overall.
Add a little gypsum to get mash ph to 5.5
let it ferment for 14 days and keg to 3vol. |

Boil for 90 min. Add hops according to schedule. Longer Boil due to DMS.
A lager fermentation consists of these 3 phases:
primary fermentation : main fermentation of the fermentable extract. The bulk of the CO2 and alkohol are created here. Chill the beer to at/below pitching temperature, 9–10°C.
Pitch the yeast and wait 24–48 hours for fermentation to begin. Maintain the temperature for two weeks.
maturation : the yeast is allowed to clean up some of its byproducts like diacetyl (butterscotch flavor) and acetaldehyde (green apple flavor). After active fermentation slows, raise the temperature over several days to 18°C. Allow the beer to sit there for two or three days to clean up the diacetyl.
cold stabilization (lagering) : the low temperature causes haze forming proteins and polyphenols come out of solution and drop out of suspension. There is also a mellowing of flavors and some formation of esters happening. The latter becomes only significant after more than 12 weeks. Lower the temperature to 1°C to 2°C by reducing temp. 1°C per day. |
