Notes

Yeast slurry 200ml from 2nd February (5 weeks old).
Make 700ml starter.
Brewed 14 March 2015. Strong sulphur smell first few days of fermentation.
Bottled 29 March.
First taste 4 weeks - nice light Saison with some of the Pilsner flavours coming through, slight pepper + spice, very light Lychee at the end. Great bead and fluffy head.
7 week tasting - this has developed into a true Saison for me - it is quite light in flavours but leaves you wanting more - all the flavours have melded beautifully.
