Notes:
- my first saison!!!
- Wallonia is the region in southern Belgium where the saison style originated
- starter was very active prior to pitching
- slight extension of boil time b/c I missed the 15 min. hop addition
- used 5 gal carboy and blow off tube
- airlock activity w/in 6 hours; I will always use a yeast starter!!
- forgot to add the dextrose at the end of the boil, so the next day I dissolved it in water, boiled to sanitized, cooled and dumped into the carboy (this was about 18 hours after the yeast was pitched; it was already going strong, but went wild when the sugar was added
- keeping track of fermentation temps, but have mostly been in the low 80's so far
Fermenting away in the kitchen to keep warm
