Saison – All Grain

Description

Our all grain kits are our own tried and tested recipes. Included in the kits are the Grain Bill only, that you can then add Hops and Yeast needed to make 20L of beer. The grain can be pre-milled ready to be used in any BIAB, Grainfather/single vessel or multi vessels system. Feel free to purchase just the grain kit and add your own preference of hops and/or yeast to your order.

What’s a Saison?
French for “season,” Saison is a traditional, pastoral ale that originated in the farmhouses of Wallonia, the French-speaking region of Belgium. The historic style is characterized by low alcohol, a light body, and high carbonation. Expect an ester spice taste and supreme dryness.

One of the beautiful things about saison, though, is that the style is relatively open to interpretation. So, brewers might lean into the hoppier side of things, drawing inspiration from beers like XX Bitter from De Ranke. Or, brewers could channel the lambic producers of Belgium for a more complex, wild interpretation of the style.
