Recipe - AG - Ginger Peach Saison

[nigel_c]

I brewed this a few weeks back and just tapped the keg.

Ginger peach saison.
OG 1.041
FG 1.005
4.7% ABV

Mash @ 64c for 75 mins
2.50 kg Pale Malt (2 Row) Bel (5.9 EBC) Grain 1 65.8 %
0.50 kg Vienna Malt (6.9 EBC) Grain 2 13.2 %
0.50 kg White Wheat Malt (4.7 EBC) Grain 3 13.2 %
0.20 kg Amber Malt (56.0 EBC) Grain 4 5.3 %
0.10 kg Acid Malt (5.9 EBC) Grain 5 2.6 %

10.00 g Magnum [12.70 %] - Boil 60.0 min Hop 6 16.2 IBUs
15.00 g Sorachi Ace [13.00 %] - Boil 15.0 min Hop 7 12.3 IBUs
15.00 g Ginger Root (Boil 10.0 mins) Herb 8 -
25.00 g Sorachi Ace [13.00 %] - Boil 0.0 min Hop 9 0.0 IBUs
15 g of fresh ginger root added @ 10 mins
4 x 500g cans of peaches (liquidized) added to whirlpool @ 80c

Yeast: Belle Saison.

All the flavors are really nice and subtle with the ginger only showing up on the aftertaste.
The low FG is balanced out by the residual sweetness of the peaches which makes a VERY easy drinking beer.

Will be brewing again and only change I'd make is maybe up the ginger slightly.
Very happy with this one.
Oh and I have 5L in a demijohn with Orval dregs so I'll have a Brett ginger peach saison in a few weeks.

Yum! Jesus that sounds tasty!

So the peaches contribute some residual sweetness? I thought that fruit sugar would fully ferment out.

I would also think that you would get a decent amount of fermentables out of them too.

I have the straight saison on draft now and its delicious. Bit of sweetness from the fruit but still super refreshing.
I pulled a sample of the brett version. (5L demi) WOW. Even after a month and a half with brett it is fantastic. The pineappley funkyness you get from brett works great with the peach.
The brett dried it out a good bit more. I didn't pull a full hydrometer because I only have 5L of the brett version but this is that deserves to be redone as a full batch.

Saved. I always have issues with belle saison over attenuating, hopefully this malt bill can keep some body in the beer to match everything else

if you dont whirlpool, when would you add the peaches?
just straight to the fermenter?
or at the very end of teh boil?
