6.1% base beer for the Saison.
6.7% base beer for the Dark Strong.
Split batch 4 ways:
1 x Saison 565 with 1 x tin prunes in syrup added in secondary
1 x Abbey Ale 530 with 1 x tin prunes in syrup added in secondary
1 x Abbey Ale 530 with 1 x tin figs in syrup added in secondary
1 x Abbey Ale 530 with 1 x tin prunes in syrup, 4g medium toast French oak chunks, and dregs of Cantillon added in secondary and AGED 1 YEAR
On brew day: Mash pH hit 5.4 as planned. Wort came out within 1 point of OG target. Got 19L of wort allowing for trub loss.
Wort smelled super strongly of liquorice toffee! Guess a combination of the caramunich, dark candi syrup and star anise.
Next time, for Original Sin Mk II, increase candi sugar, make base malt red X, lose caramunich, swap Munich for Vienna, make special b 3%.
