"Has Yet To Be Named"
(no really that's not gonna be the name of this. I'll name it once it has a story)
Ingredients
- 8 lbs Pilsner malt
- 1 lbs Vienna malt
- 0.5 lbs Wheat malt
- 2 oz Hallertau hops
- WLP565 Saison Ale Yeast
Mash
- Add 4 gallons of water to the boiler and heat to 136 degrees F. Add grains for a strike temperature of 131 degrees F.
- Hold temperature at 131 degrees F for 10-20 minutes.
- Increase to 148 degrees F, hold for 60-75 minutes
- Mash-out at 168 degrees F for 10 minutes to halt enzyme activity (this is optional, but since you're about to boil anyway, might as well)
Sparge & Boil
- I hope you had 3 gallons of sparge water heated to 170 degrees F before all the steps above 😉
- Slowly sparge grains until ~7 gallons boil volume is achieved.
- Raise temperature until wort begins to boil. Add 1oz Hallertau hops
- Boil wort for 60 minutes
Flameout
- At flameout, cool wort to 80 degrees F or below.
- Pitch WLP565 yeast.
- Add 1oz Hallertau hops. You can add this at any stage of the fermentation, but I tend to just put it in all at once. These are pretty mild hops anyway.
Fermentation & Bottling/Kegging
- Ferment until completion, approximately 1-2 weeks depending on conditions.
- Bottle and keg as preferred, and serve!
Enjoy!
