Notes
Brewed 7-18-2015
Pitched yeast 7-19
OG 1.073 but that was before I pitched the half gallon yeast starter, so the original gravity is probably closer to 1.07-ish.
Added 2 pounds of honey at flame out. Will add 1 pound during fermentation.
8-12-2015
SG 1.022
Strong honey flavor. Cloudy. Fermentation maybe halted. Wrapped it in a heating pad. I may need to pitch more yeast if that doesn't kick start fermentation again.
8-18
SG 1.020
Was at constant 75F since 8-12. Upped the heating pad from low to medium.
8-30
Heating pad on medium didn't change temp. Stayed at 75F. Switched back to low. Turned off after a few more days. Been at about 68F for a week or so. Still bubbling slowly. Last time my saison took nearly 5 weeks to ferment to completion.
9-1
SG 1.014
Dropped .006 in 14 days. About .0043/day. Should be at 1.007 in about 16 days. Recheck 9-17.
9-10
SG 1.014
Seems to have stopped. Added another packet of hydrated Belle Saison.
9-11
Good fermentation resumed.
9-18
FG 1.010
7.9% ABV
Works for me.
9-19
Bottled with 5oz priming sugar.
11-20
Probably the most elegant beer I've brewed to date. Frankly I prefer a drier saison but this is still pretty remarkable. Somewhat nectary, like a mead.This Recipe Has Not Been Rated
