Saison Gravity Reading
I took a gravity reading last night to check on the progress of my Saison.
Check out the saison recipe here.
I am happy to report that the reading on the ol’ hydrometer was 1.010 (after recalculating because of the high temperature), which is about where my final gravity should be.
Just because I am not ready to rack it, I am going to leave it there for a few more days while I find time to clean and sanitize stuff.
After reading all the nightmares online about how long it takes to get Saisons down to where you want them to be, I didn’t know what to expect.
I think what helped me was a mighty 2.5L starter of the platinum Saison strain.
The sample tasted Saison-y. It had some peppery notes and some funky fruity flavors too. It was really light in body.
If I can get the carbonation right, I might actually have made a good representation of the style.
Check out the saison brewing day.

How about a recipe? Did I miss it earlier in the blog?
