Partial Mash: Saison du Maison

[MAF]

Here's the recipe for the first ever saison I did, and it was lovely. The key to this one was the yeast (a reasonable size starter was used) and temperature control - it was fermented above 30C!

Recipe: Saison Du Maison
Style: Saison
TYPE: Partial Mash
Taste: Clove taste when young, became a lot more fruity after several months in bottle. Hints of bubble gum, very dry and easy to drink.

Thnking of doing a similar beer in the near future. Did you ferment at 30 the whole time or start around 20 and after the first week increment it up to 30 over a few days?

An other tips for doing a saison?

[Cathal O D]

Without a mash out? So is that sparging with water at the mash temp??
And why not boil til next day?

This is getting esoteric 

Radical off the wall brewing techniques.

Love it
