I brewed this and it is spot on for this hot weather. Thank you David, you give me confidence to develop as a brewer. Deep respect!!

[simontaylor]

Thank you David, another great recipe that I will be brewing very soon in our South African summer. I haven't brewed a Saison before so I am really looking forward to the results. I really enjoy your channel and have benefited greatly from your knowledge. Keep up the great work, helping home brewers around the world to brew amazing beer,

I'm 10 brews into David's Brewfather catelog. This will go to the top of the queue next summer.

[alanman]

Love the look and sound of this one! This will be my next brew, many thanks David

[RoyNilsen]

Just been carbonating on keg for a week and it's a very easy drinking beer, fresh taste and a nice finish this will go fast :D
Very nice on warm days like we have in Norway for the moment. Did follow the recipe and made a 19 liter batch, thanks for sharing!

[jellestreefkerk]

Just finished brewing this now, can’t wait to taste the results!

I've just finished fermenting and bottling a batch this morning. My results came out a bit different to David's demonstration.

I did a small batch (9L) and scaled the recipe down on Brewfather to match all the numbers. Mash was done for 60min at 67C in a PID temperature controlled kettle. I seriously underestimated my efficiency and ended up with a starting gravity of 1.066. Dilution wasn't an option because of the size of my fermenter. I pitched in 1 packet of Lalbrew farmhouse yeast at 23C and fermentation was complete in less than 36 hours with a final gravity of 1.017. I left it in the fermenter for 7 days and ramped up the temperature to 27C but there was no change.

The beer looked like and had the mouthfeel of a Belgian Wit bier at bottling. It tasted a bit raw and funky but fruity and spicy also. The flavours are promising, and hopefully it will become a nice beer with a bit of time to mature.

Another one that shall definitely be brewed!

[paulrobertson]

Another great looking beer to try thank you :)

As always, it sounds perfect, and special in-between a dark beer like your Bourbon Stout❤
Thanks for your time and effort making this video and share it with all us amateurs, at least me. 😊👍

[BeautilufMusic]

Brewed this for a tasting with other brewers and got loads of compliments! Unfortunately none of the dried peel really came through so am going to try with fresh peel next time. Still the beer is amazing and if you make a bit of effort to clear it, it looks amazing as well!

[rafaelnasser]

Awesome I'll brew this next! Great result

[seriomarkj]

Lemon saisons are the best summer beers

[OvidYou]

Hallo David thanks for the video, have you think to wight a book? You have all the quality to do it. For sure i am the first to buyt

[jonesy]

Great video like always! Thank you. I am unable to obtain that yeast in my area. Any recommendations for an alternative? Typically I ferment at 65f in my basement and can ferment normally or under pressure. Thanks.

[ianjones]

Another great vid David. Since the price of energy has risen massively, would it matter if I reduce times for the mash and boil schedules? I mash in at 67 deg C for 50 mins and Mash Out at 76 deg C for 10 mins and my hop boil times are always 60 min, many thanks.

Lol I was just about to brew a Saison today, I will try this one better

[nonolagratte]

Hello David and thanks for another great video ! I'm about to brew this beer but only got access to Lallemand Belle saison yeast . What temperature and time would you recommend to keep it close to your recipe?

[Angelstealth]

Thanks David, I’ll brew it as next recipe. What about a little DH with any European hop? Thanks

[mattslocombe]

Hi David, I have this fermenting and the yeast is very fast. Should I keep it at 25C for three days regardless of how fast it's fermenting, or start raising it once fermentation slows down? It's already at 50% attenuation only 36 hours in.
