Notes

This is sort of a mix of some of the other hibiscus saison recipes I've found. I don't care for coriander, so this recipe has none. Hibiscus is brewed as a tea, so it's going in at "flame out" and I'll rest the beer for 5 minutes to steep before doing whirlpool and starting the chill. Another blast of hibiscus with a little bit of ginger as a "dry hop" style addition to secondary should bring out the tart flavor and color even more.

The hibiscus we have on hand was purchased from the spice vendors at Khan El Khalili Bazaar in Cairo, so we wanted an Egyptian pun for the name. Since this is just an experiment, we're brewing a little more than 1/2 of our normal batch size.

The water agents are based on adjusting our water profile to match the "Balanced" profile. You'll want to do your own water changes if you decide to brew this.
