Saison de Val

[oblivious]

Hi all

It been a bit since I brew a Saison, but I also wanted to do something a bit different this time. This  recipe is a cross between a Saison de Val and a Orval clone. The  grist is orvals along with the sugar and hopping and yeast is a Saison blend.

but there is a little twist, the WLP670  is a blend of a farmhouse yeast and Brettanomyces from pizza port brewing.

So I am hoping it it hit some where between a Saison and Orval. I am also going to give this a good secondary in a corny keg to help develop the Brett characteristics. The addition  of Cara-Pils is also to provide food for the Brett to develop flavour over time.

Yeast

American Farmhouse WLP670 (blend of farmhouse and Brett yeast)

Transferred this to a keg for a warm secondary to let the Brett developed. the gravity was 1.010 so there are still a few fermentables for the Brett to work on. I also added 50g of sugar to dive the Brett a bi of a hand.

I also have two bottles to check how the Brett is developing
