I made this at the end of June. I am very pleased with how it came out so I thought I would share. It is light-med bodied, and very dry. FG was 1.003. It is very citrusy and bright with a mild pepperiness in the background, and for me it's a bit hard to tell where the yeast and the hops begin and end. IOW they seem to meld really well. There are distinct and forward notes of lemon-lime (more lemon) and a distant tropical note I assume is from the Motueka. The malt in the backseat is pretty much all pils. Funny that sometimes when I drink it I can pick out the very subtle contribution from the vienna and other times I cannot. All in all a great beer to have in the summer lineup. Credit where it's due to BlKtRe for suggesting Motueka in a Saison, good call.

Love Motueka in Saison! Glad you tried it.

 

This one looks good.

it was originally called Saaz B for a reason, that being that a certain Belgian Brewery used it a lot

Looks delicious and has that oh so very Saison'y color.  Can you tell me about the filtering if any?  I prefer my FA's yeasty.  And Motouka, I can't seem to find any.  I would love to try it in a recipe very similar to yours.

Filtering? I don't have a filter, so I've never done that. I used whirlfloc in the kettle for fining at that was it. The beer is a cloudy glowing yellow color maybe a little lighter than the picture conveys.

 

Motueka… I would check Farmhouse Brew Supply.

Looks good.  Do you have any notes on your fermentation temps/schedule?

Fermentation notes...

 

30 sec O2 and pitched a 2 wk old starter into 67F wort and put into temp controlled bath at 68F.

 

At 12 hrs began to ramp it up, eventually to 75F at around 24hrs. Krausen fell at 48-60hrs.

 

Removed from 75f water bath and dry hopped on day 5.

[Poptop]

DONE!

[ChicagoWaterGuy]

Motueka acquired. Time to brew.

 

[Poptop]

I'd say ya got enough for a Super Saison

[ChicagoWaterGuy]

I'll be brewing this today. The lhbs had some Motueka and I have a yeast cake of Belle Saison. I need to play with the malt bill a bit. I have malted wheat on hand but not flaked. I'm thinking about:

 

70% Pils

10% Vienna

10% Malted wheat 

10% flaked barley

How do you like the belle saison yeast?  I have been interested in giving it a go.

I'll post some results soon. I got a free pack from NHC. That beer is still in primary.

I made a fav Saison on Saturday and pitched Belle (1st time use) at 75 degrees. Took off like a rocket and the K has already dropped. Giving another week in primary. Will take a reading tomorrow. Expecting good things. Going to keep temp ambient to room temp.
