Notes
  • Hops: I swapped the 1 oz (28 g) Styrian Goldings [5.5% AA] with another 1 oz (28 g) Fuggle [5% AA] as my homebrew store didn't have it in stock.

  • Yeast: I swapped out the Wyeast 3724 Belgian Saison with the Lalbrew Belle Saison

    Here is the ALL GRAIN recipe in full.

    Batch size: 5 gallons (19 liters)
    Brewhouse efficiency: 72%
    OG: 1.056
    FG: 1.008
    IBUs: 20
    ABV: 6.1%

    MALT/GRAIN BILL
    8 lb (3.63 kg) Pilsner malt
    1 lb (0.45 kg) Vienna malt
    8 oz (227 g) wheat malt
    2 oz (57 g) Caramunich malt

    HOPS SCHEDULE
    1 oz (28 g) Fuggle [5% AA] at 30 minutes
    1 oz (28 g) Styrian Goldings [5.5% AA] at 10 minutes

    YEAST
    Wyeast 3724 Belgian Saison

    DIRECTIONS
    Mill the grains and mix with 3.5 gallons (13.25 l) of 162°F (72°C) strike water to reach a mash temperature of 150°F (65°C). Hold this temperature for 60 minutes.

    Vorlauf until your runnings are clear. Sparge the grains with 3.1 gallons (11.7 l) and top up as necessary to obtain 6 gallons (23 l) of wort. Boil for 75 minutes, adding hops following the hops schedule.

    After the boil, turn off the heat and whirlpool for 10 minutes. Then chill the wort to slightly below fermentation temperature, about 68°F (20°C). Aerate the wort with pure oxygen or filtered air and pitch the yeast.

    Ferment at 69°F (20°C) for 6 days, then increase the temperature to 72°F (21°C) and hold there for 4 more days. Once the beer reaches terminal gravity, bottle or keg the beer and carbonate to about 2.5 volumes of CO2. You may want to cold crash the beer to 35°F (2°C) for 48 hours before packaging to improve clarity.
