A foundation of light malty wheat flavor from Briess malt extracts lets the ginger and orange peel shine through in this easy-drinking summer Saison. There’s still plenty of summer left to brew this 5-gallon batch which calls for a two-week primary and four-week secondary fermentation. Yes, our CBW® Pilsen Light extract is made from Briess Pilsen Malt, which produces an exceptionally clean, crisp wort. That’s why it works so well in this recipe, and makes it easy to convert this to an all-grain recipe.
Subscribers to Brew Your Own magazine will find this Briess/White Labs tear-out recipe card in the July-August 2013 issue. Happy homebrewing everyone!
