Today we brewed our beer! Lindsey and I randomly chose the french saison recipe, which coincidentally was the same style of beer I brewed in this class last year. But this beer will be far from the same as my beer last year. This one had some sauer acid malt, which we steeped as a specialty grain. This sauer malt should give the beer some sourness, which should be interesting. I honestly don't know what to expect, but I'm looking forward to tasting this beer. I'm especially looking forward to trying some saisons in Belgium. It is one of my favorite styles of beer and I'm sure there will be some really good saisons at some of the breweries we visit in Belgium.
All in all the brewing went well (except for a few burnt fingers for Lindsey) so hopefully the beer will turn out well. The process went much easier for me this year compared to last year. First of all our burner worked this year, which helped a lot. But also it was nice to have some experience going into the brew day this year.
