First batch on the all-grain system in a while, with my Dad
The homebrew club style of the quarter was Saison, so tried to find a recipe that would fit that my Dad would be interested in making. Scaled it up to 7.5gal to fit in the all-grain system. Ended up that we didn’t finish it until after the competition.
This beer will be allowed to free-ferment in the primary, and then we’ll control it to about 68.
OG: 1.055 @ 70F, target 1.068
FG: 1.012 @ 70F, target 1.015 (first-run), 1.024 @ 70F (second-run)
The brew was fairly uneventful. Created a 1L starter with the yeast, which was split across 2 batches. First run was a 5gal ferment. Second run was about 2gal.
The first-run was temperature controlled in the secondary, and the second-run was allowed to run free. The temperature controlled version ended lighter in color and hazier. Phenolic aroma, sharp, with some apple. Reasonably well-balanced beer, which is drier than expected. Orange peel, citrus, slightly soapy with a clean finish. Does not leave much aftertaste.
The second-run was not temperature controlled and has less aroma. What is there is mostly hops. The beer is heavier, but better-balanced. It has quite a bit more residual sweetness and hoppiness. Closer to a pale-ale style than a Saison, but has the tart yeast flavor. Lingering hop aftertaste, but is still sharp.
There was only one fermentation, since this was done in the conical, and we did not do a mid-cycle check. Thus, the numbers are skewed. Also, the heater was not connected, so there is no Temp Controller map.
Average temp: 67.62F
StDev: 0.92
