Sean and I finally did our saison. The yeast was anaemic in the starter but took off once in the primary fermenter. Unfortunately it won't be ready in time for Christmas as we had planned.

We're comfortable for this batch, but I expect we'll be doing another. If you have some you don't need I'll take them.

Friday (Saturday if there's no school Friday) my brew session is inspired by the Arrogant Bastard clone from the Brewing Network's Can You Brew It.

I cut my recipe back to an anticipated 6.5% and ~75 IBU and significantly reduced the amount of Special B.

We usually brew 2 at a time and end up mashing the second brew while the first is boiling. It only takes us an extra hour so it works out pretty sweet. Good luck Tim.

It's bottle conditioning as I type. I added some oak to it in secondary so we'll see where that leads it X)
