That looks good Jeff. I've got a saison in the fermenter too, we should trade a few when they're ready.

I'd be up for that. It'll likely be near a month before I get a chance to brew mine though. Have an
IPA on deck next.

Jeff, how did this one turn out? I'm looking at doing a rye saison and was wondering how much the 12% brought to the beer.

It was great, but when I made it last year (15 gallons of it) I upped the rye to 20%. Was much happier with it.
