The Hallertau hop is our next quick hit ingredient profile. An old hop variety that is, or has been, widely used in many of the great beers of the world.

Small Saison

Well its been quite a while since I have brewed an all grain, but I need to get the kegs filled. Had some ingredients in the fridge from the last beer I had planned, so we just needed a few things.

This Saison was a bit bigger when I wrote it up, but I think a nice, light easy drinking 4ish % is in order.

  • Small Saison
  • 8lbs 2 row
  • 1lb white wheat
  • 4oz carapils
  • .75oz Target hops @ 60
  • 1oz Saaz @ 5
  • .25 Target @ FO
  • Belle Saison Yeast
  • Mash 155

With a fairly low OG of 1.044 and this yeast, figured I’d mash just a bit higher this time. Anyway, thats it. I’m not adding anything to this.
