Honey and Rosemary Saison

7 lbs American Pilsner Malt
2 lbs American Wheat
1 lb Munich 60L
.5 lb Carapils or Dextrine Malt
.5 lb Honey
1 packet Wyeast 3711 French Saison Yeast

1 oz Saaz at 60 minutes
1 oz Saaz at Burnout

Mash the wort at 154F for 60 minutes
Mash out and sparge at 170F

Boil wort for 60 minutes, cool and pitch yeast at 70-75F
2 weeks in primary fermentation

Infuse 1/2 cup of rosemary in secondary fermentation for 1 week


This was an experimental recipe my friend John and I developed because we both like Saison's and had some Rosemary and Honey laying around.  It came out a little strong on the Rosemary flavoring because I let it infuse for 2 weeks instead of one.  I saved the yeast and plan to brew another Saison soon.  The yeast is very aggressive, and perfect for fermentation in a warm house in the heat of a New Orleans summer.
