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.
