Notes

Oddly low conversion efficiency of 65%. This was only my 2nd AG brew. A few differences from my 1st try:

Added:
1) pH=5.2 buffer in mash
2) Used leaf hops in boil which extracted a lot of wort.
3) Used a new hydrometer as my trusty one broke. Hope it's calibrated.
4) Probably still need to slow down on the sparge.

Always get great attenuation with the French Saison yeast.

Aroma is very strong of basil, but not unpleasant. Saison character dominates palate.

Next time, I'd back off on the basil to 1.5oz.
