Mash at 146F for 60 to 75 minutes. Optionally, you may mash at 144F for 30 to 45 minutes, then raise mash temperature to 154F and hold for 30 minutes. Proceed with boil as normal, adding corn sugar with 10 minutes left in the boil.
Ferment at 72-75F for 2 weeks.
A secondary fermentation isn’t neccessary, as saisons can be a bit more cloudy.
This beer may benefit from some conditioning time.
