Yeah she's already my art and design director. Mine is cranking along but my previous saison took some time, very finicky yeast. Looks like we may be back to the original group, so I'm up for some swapping again.

Put her on payroll and save me a bottle. Ours is in the slow burn phase, gravity verrrrrrrrrrrry slowly going down. Before we head out of town, I'm hoping it'll be low enough to put it somewhere cooler to condition for a little while. Looking for...

Brewed my version on Saturday, changed the US 2-row to Belgian pale malt. Spiced with dried lavender and fresh sage. Can't wait to see how this turns out.

I wouldn't rush too do that although it is traditional. When primary is done give it a taste and go from there.

Hey Bryon, Your recipe to me seems to fit pretty well to the wit style, recipe looks like it should be pretty tasty. Good luck and let us know how it turns out. I promise you, you've just stepped in to a great hobby.

Sounds wonderful to me, Rob. Bring on those esters!

And here it is... And it bears absolutely no resemblance to any of the recipes I mentioned above. Oh well. It turned out to be quite the hodgepodge of a grain bill, but I'm telling myself that it's true to the historical nature of saisons to cons...

How much yeast are you pitching? I've never used the Cooper's kits so I don't know how much yeast they supply but it's possible that there is not enough yeast leftover to prime the beer or it may be very slow.

You might try doing a couple of bottles maybe add a coopers priming tab. I would just be concerned about over-carbonating and creating bottle bombs. Good luck.

How long have you let it sit and at what temperature? I'd be hesitant to try repriming right away until you are completely sure it isn't priming.

I'm gonna do a mash up (get it?) of this recipe along with my standard saison recipe and the 'Lil Opal clone in this month's BYO and post it when it's ready... (On top of that, planning on doing this one all-organic just for kicks.)

Thanks Ray. I haven't spent any time here yet so I haven't seen any of what I'll be spending my time on.

Thanks Ray. I can see myself spending many hours on this site. I am a glutton for beer info... (and consumption). Almost had the opportunity to purchase a small micro brewery in South Africa (where we have about 100 microbrewers... for a small country isnt bad, and they make stunning beers) but was afraid, that I didn't know enough and I wouldnt make it work...
