Notes

Mash: Start at 113 degrees and ramp up to 145. Hold a few minutes, then ramp up slowly to 162 degrees, complete mash, mash-out and sparge.
Ferment at 68 degrees for ten days, let rise after 1/2 of sugar consumed. Rack, then continue fermentation until stable.
This has made an excellent Saison, easy drinking, light fermentation character reminiscent of tangerines. It's a bit thick though, silky from the wheat, which need to be dropped from the recipe. I need to get a scoresheet and judge it. Modified 10/22/22, Wheat dropped.
