Notes: In a brew pot, heat 1/2 gallons of water.
Remove pot from heat and add 40 oz of honey and 10 oz maple syrup and 1 tsp yeast nutrient. Stir until fully dissolved.
Rehydrate the yeast (EC 1118) in a sanitized cup, and cover.
Add the must to a 1.4 gallon primary fermenter and top off to 1 gallon. Aerate it, and pitch the yeast.
Seal fermenter with airlock and store in a dark place at a temperature of about 70 degrees.
At 24 hrs, 48 hrs, and 72 hrs add 1/4 tsp yeast nutrient and 1/2 tsp yeast energizer
Add 1 campden tablet to stop fermentation, let sit for 1 day
Siphon the mead into a sanitized 1 gallon carboy, and add 10oz maple syrup (or add syrup until desired maple syrup taste) and then add the 1/4 Oak Spiral (approx 6-10 american oak medium cubes).
After another 2-4 weeks (or until desired oak taste), re-rack, then let age for 2-4 months. One Week prior to bottling, add 1tsp of rehydrated bentonite to clarify.
Bottle 4 weeks prior to serving and use carbonation tablets(1 per 355ml).
Age for another 2-4 months in bottles is best.

Notes: Original starting gravity was 1.046, finished with a FG of 1.011. sample tasted. was very crisp, clean and surprisingly dry finish for the gravity being higher than expected.

Used 1/2 pint of US-05 yeast from "The American Cream ale" and made a 1.5 liter starter with it on brew day about 5 hour's before pitching. took off in about 4 hour's and finished in 3 day's. fermented at 65 F for 5 day's then raised temp to 71 F for 10 day's, brought down to 60 F the next 4 day's.

Notes: This recipe makes a dry, bitter, and hoppy saison, and can also serve as a solid template for further variations. See suggestions below.

Mash Schedule for BIAB

Because of the relatively large proportion of spelt in this recipe, I typically do a cereal mash. The process is quite straight-forward for Brew in a Bag, but may require some modification for other mashing regimes.

1) Crush spelt separately to consistency of grits. Bring to a boil in a large saucepan with a few litres of water (subtract this from the volume of your main batch, or take it directly from the liquor in the main kettle). Keep at a boil, stirring to prevent scorching, until it forms a thick porridge: usually 15-20 minutes. This stage can be done prior to brew day, with the cooled spelt porridge stored in the fridge till required.

2) Heat main mash liquor and dough in with grist and spelt porridge, aiming for an initial temperature of 131F. You may need to break up the spelt porridge with your hands if you stored it before use. Keep at this temperature for around 15-20 minutes. [Optional step: you can also include an earlier rest at around 113F. This may aid with lautering and possibly increase phenolics from any brettanomyces strains.]

3) Raise mash to around 145F. Keep at this temperature for 40-50 minutes.

4) Raise mash to around 154F. Keep at this temperature for 20 minutes.

5) Raise to 168F. Mash out and lauter. Top-up with water to reach your desired pre-boil volume. Proceed with boil.

Fermentation:

Cool beer to around 65F. Oxygenate, pitch yeast, and allow to freerise. (In the summer, I would keep it in my fermentation chamber set at 70F for 24-26 hours.)

Variations:

This recipe provides a good template for variation. The spelt gives the beer a full mouth-feel that stands up well to both hops and acidity.

As it stands, the recipe makes a fairly bitter, hoppy beer. I find it ages gracefully if you add a small pitch of brettanomyces (e.g. bottle dregs) to secondary or at bottling: as the hops fade, the brettanomyces character will gradually become more prominent.

I have varied the grist for this recipe in a number of ways, all with good results. Some suggestions: - replace some of the pilsner with 5-15% Vienna or Munich. - replace some of the pilsner with 15-30% of another base malt, e.g. pale ale malt, Golden Promise, 6-row, etc. - add an adjunct in the kettle or post-boil. I have added both honey and Candi Syrup to this recipe. I thought the former worked particularly well.

Try adding an element of acidity to the beer; depending on your palate, you may want to dial back the bitterness slightly if you do this (I do not). - I often blend in 10-25% pale sour with this beer. The fullness from the spelt provides a nice balance to the acidity. Depending on your final gravity, you can do this in secondary or at bottling. - Add flavour at bottling, e.g. I have made a tea from hibiscus leaves and added it at bottling, which provided a nice tartness along with brilliant colour.

Notes: Original Recipe Notes:

Changed hop addition order and times...added a few pounds 2 row to adjust for efficiency, set mash temp lower to get rid of some of the sweetness.

Similiar version took 2nd place (Specialty Category) at the 2013 Best Florida Beer Championships.

My Notes and Alterations:

1. Having to substitute Cascade hops for Vanguard due to lack of availability.

2. Recipe requires English style yeast, so will use yeast starter harvested from WL002.
