You know what that means? Summer Saison time. Sheppy Brew's Hail Storm Summer Saison.
Yummy.
If you follow my brewing patterns, you probably have realized that I brew quite a few Saisons. Four Saisons a year. One for every season (saison is French for season). I call them my Seasonal Saison Series.
I just recently finished drinking my Melting Stream Spring Saison and last Sunday it was time to brew the Summer Saison.
Yum!
I got started later in the morning than usual. It is sort of weird to be able to see while mashing.
The mash went fine. As always with my saisons, I mash very low (~145ish) to get more fermentable wort.
My pre-boil gravity was a bit high, but I don't mind diluting my wort before the boil starts.
Nothing notable during the boil.
Even with the late start, I got the brew done by early afternoon. It would have been nice to get an early start so that I would have missed some more of the mid-day heat.
It was very hot out, and it took awhile to chill the wort. Not a big deal.
And now ... the beer is in the fermentor and almost done. I may rack into a secondary fermentor tomorrow so I'll have my bigger fermentor available for a brew this weekend.
Want to know what I am brewing this weekend?
Stay tuned ...
As always, keep an eye on the regular SheppyBrew Channels to see what is happening with this beer (and many others): SheppyBrew's Facebook Page; Sheppy's Twitter Feed;SheppyBrew's Instagram Page; and SheppyBrew's Website. Of course, don't forget to visit this blog often as well!
Oh I have first time seen home made beer. I dint know that someone could even make beer at home. Now I can understand your reason of excitement on the arrival of summer.
