Notes

Tweaked this recipe to get what we wanted: https://www.homebrewsupply.com/thirsty-strongman-belgian-ipa-all-grain-recipe-kit.html

Lots of clove flavors from the saison yeast (varied fermentation in the high 70's to funk it up a little) and a higher-than-expected abv made the name of this beer obvious.

I tweaked the steeping efficiency and attenuation to reflect what we actually saw in the beer. The apparent attenuation was crazy high - but I'm not complaining. Not sure if it's the yeast, the high fermentation temp, the fact that there was mostly very light malts, or some combination of all those things.
