Saison Recipt...Can I Borrow Yours?

[BlackDuck]

I'm looking for a good, but simple, all grain saison recipe. Nothing fancy, just true to style saison. Any body have a recipe you would like to share??

Thanks Swen...They look good, but I was looking for something more sessionable like Jeff's recipe. I guess I should have said that in the beginning.

As for Jeff's recipe, I wonder what a little lemongrass would do to that? I have some laying around.

[swenocha]

Gotcha.

FWIW, I intend to do a session saison this summer as well with the Kashi as above... Haven't figured out the recipe, but planning on equal parts 2-row and wheat along with a box or two of the Kashi. Shooting for around 1.038 or something to hit a 4%er...

As for lemongrass... sounds like a winner to me. I love a subtle lemongrass in a wheat or saison.

FWIW, 100% pilsner or 90% pilsner + 10% wheat/oats will give you a nice saison too.

Doesn't need to be complex, doesn't need crystal or malty malts... it just depends on what you like.

Too much crystal and/or malty malts, and your more like a Bier de Garde then a Saison.

That's not a bad thing though either.
