Farmhouse Sabbatical: What I’ve Learned from Brewing Saison (And Only Saison)

In September 2014, Kyle decided to start repeatedly brewing saison in an attempt to dial in a recipe and refine his fermentation process. The seemingly harmless exercise quickly turned into a year-long (and ongoing) exploration of these wonderful beers. This presentation will demonstrate how repeatedly brewing one recipe or style of beer can improve more than just your competition scores. Kyle will describe his saison brewing philosophy and process, discuss ingredient evaluation and (painfully) review batches gone wrong.
