    Found some extra time to squeeze in a small brew tomorrow.
    It is getting warmer out, so I thought I would try:
    I am going to split the batch in half.

    Rye Saison:

    Estimated OG - 1.054
    SRM - 4
    IBU - 33.7

    70% Briess Pilsen Malt
    30% Briess Rye Malt
    ________________________

    0.75oz Willamette (4.7%aa) FWH

    ________________________

    Sierra Nevada Ovila Saison dregs
    Brett B. (white labs) (used in half the batch after one month primary)


    Pretty simple really, but this will be a first in the farmhouse ale dept. for me.



    ...I'm sure there's something I'm forgetting.
    Amigo, lay them raises down.

    Nope.
    Being my first saison I figure I should start with a base and then adjust it accordingly.

    I think rye in a saison would be yummy
    Never attribute to malice, that which can adequately be explained by stupidity.

    This will be a BIAB so fortunately I don't have to stress over stuck sparges. I appreciate the input though.

    Oh to the simplicity of the biab. I should really do that more.

    Ovila Saison dreg starter has been going for about 24 hours, and in an act of spontaneity I just poured in the dregs from the Stone/Victory/DFH Saison du Buff. We'll see.

    I week in primary @ 75 degrees F - Gravity down to 1.010

    Plan on keeping things the same for one more week before racking one gallon to secondary and pitching Brett B.
    The other 1 gallon will go into bottles after three weeks.

    Well it can take up to like five years. I don't think I will wait that long though...

    I will TRY to wait until Sept/Oct before bottling the gallon with brett.

    eager to here what elements of the du Buff you got - sounds awesome with rye - I'd love to get some Tank 7 yeasties (being an on the fly/accidental type beer) and infuse some Rye into that one too

    Man, I love that beer. I had a bottle of it the other day too. Wish I would have thought of that.

    It's a shame the store I found it in only has it in 4-packs plus they charged an arm and a leg because they're a run of the mill beer stop and this was "specialty beer". The usual one I like to go to is a bit of a drive and, oh man, I gotta go there now - can't though, once i go in its like a 2 hr trip - if you've never had it before - I highly suggest Pepe Nero from Goose Island - surprisingly light tasting, dark saison over peppercorns. Not as many people like St. Feuillien Saison, but I'm in love with that one and pretty much everything Southampton

    Yeah, we only get four packs here as well, and they still cost an arm and leg.
    After trying a couple other Goose Island beers (Matilda, Sophie, Pere Jaques) I have been desperately trying to find Pepe Nero without any luck. I recently tried Saison Rue by The Bruery and I thought it was pretty awesome! I actually saved some dregs from that bottle and have it in a jar in my fridge right now.

    i've only tried sophie from goose island. pity i don't see more of their experimental beers since the brewery is only about 45 minutes away.

    guess i'll just have to plan a trip this summer. :)

    I was lucky to find Sophie. It was a 2010 bottle that I am pretty sure my local liquor store found in the back somewhere, so they stuck it out there just trying to sell it, not knowing any better. They have a bunch of Pere Jaques, which unfortunately was my least favorite.

    I really enjoy the Saison Rue, but unfortunately, am not a fan of anything else of theirs - my last bad experience with The Bruery was with their Autumn Maple beer when I was trying to get inspirations for my Pumpkin Saison and it was like drinking old folks' home liquid cafeteria yams - sorry, I'm not usually harsh but that was my least favorite brew, ever, out of any beer, at least for me anyways - I checked the date too - should have been fine, and I went it to a fall style pretty adventurously knowing I would prob get some vegetal notes, like my pumpkin saison has in the nose - smells like a hint of squash but dang, I was dissapointed
