"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!
