Cherry & Lavendar Saison Brewday & Recipe (aka the beer you can't screw up)

[@zachredden5439]

I love the cloud drop shirt great Vermont IPAs

[@prisonerr24601]

Love listening to your vids while working.

[@davidrobertson4301]

The recipe you can't screw up even if you skip an ingredient... ;) I'm one of the many subscribers who are looking forward to your follow-up video on this recipe. Love your work! keep them coming!

[@FloraBrewing]

The cherry juice will mask anything you throw in there! The lavender does come through somehow!

[@ChrisCGuitars]

Going to have to try this one... great vid as usual.. love how you leave the mistakes in, cheers 🍻

[@FloraBrewing]

It's supposed to be fun, sometimes mistakes are fun...atleast in retrospect :)

Honestly what interests me most and eludes me is yeast harvesting and storage. I would love more info on how you grew that second Gen french saison and how you kept it for months and months safely. Love the content Sarah

[@rickmitchell4422]

Same I've tried and died and a simple fruity ale that's a staple in my keezer I can make it blindfold and it comes out the same each and every time but did it with harvested yeast and sadly it had to go down the drain I even give it 6 months ot condition but 😥

[@stephenstiles9696]

@@rickmitchell4422 oof that's sad. Since this comment I just went at it and I've had a couple dumpers. But bit harvest the yeast off the bottom of my conical and put it in an air tight Jerry can sanitized and add some 1.045 wort to it once a week. I'm sure I could freeze it. It's a lot of maintenance but it works. Burning the Jerry can and watching it.

[@BrewabitRick]

Omg the lavender reminds me of my late Grandma and Grandad, they had lavender planted either side of the path leading up to the house, every time I rode my bike up to the house I used to disturb it and what a smell 👍❤️ I need a bigger wort chiller , another great vid cheers from over the pond 👍🍻

[@juanlholguin67]

I’ve been watching your channel for a while now to get tips but I think this one I will try brewing. Love your channel👍

[@TeoOktoberfest]

Great work... Cheers 🍻 🍻 🍻 Munich Germany 🇩🇪

[@FloraBrewing]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@StoneyardVineyards]

That’s going to be a good one ,cheers

[@TwistedTerrain]

I just made the original recipe about 10 days ago but I did not add the additional sugar just the 96oz cherry juice. WOW!!! What a great beer I may have to make this a staple in my brewhouse.

[@mleukus]

exactly what i was thinking of doing - what abv did you get without the sugar?

[@TwistedTerrain]

@@mleukus My SG was about 1.052 and it finished dray at 1.008 about 10 days later. I fermented at 68 deg F for the full 10 days and then cold crashed it, racked it into a keg, and pressurized it over the next 3 days. It was an amazing beer with a little tart note from the tart cherries but a lower ABV where I like my session beers. Very, very good and will be made again soon.

[@rickmitchell4422]

Ring KK and get the wheels for that frame your using it upside down even though I prefer useing it that way I believe they should put the wheel posts on the smaller ring as well and supply the wheels with it I'll have a talk to Will about it just makes more sence to me

[@charleslincoln2466]

I just got the Anvil 10 gal, never made a saision before, perfect match 👀

[@ogjbot]

Sarah: "The beer you can't screw up! ☺️" Me: "Challenge accepted! 😐"

[@FloraBrewing]

I consistently ferment this at like 80º even without pressure...i believe in you ;)

[@jafarym77]

That French saison yeast is a beast! It will chew everything to almost nothing. That will be one dry beer.

[@tybearthegreat]

Those automatic temperature control refractometers have a working range of 50-86 degrees. If you’re trying to take a pre-boil gravity anywhere above 86 degrees, then you’re not getting an accurate gravity.

[@kurtwolter3984]

Great vid, Sarah. Could you possibly share the recipe to Brewfather?

[@cdaly3561]

Firstly, Love your vids. Never tried a Saison and trusted to buy one off the shelf NZ and couldn’t find one! I’ve found using international grain recipes a bit hit or miss. I’ve found a saison recipe with grains I can source locally and just wondering if throwing in some cherry juice or cherries and lavender at similar timings to yours will work! Thanks in advance!

[@alexanderstahlner583]

Haha forgetting to pitch the yeast been there done that 😜 brewed in the evening and at 1am when I was about to go to sleep I saw the yeast still laying on the kitchen counter 🤣

[@MrBillyReubin]

Looks delish. Any interest in doing a video on clean up/tidiness tips? E.g. I dislike cleaning screens and was wondering if there were any hacks. Thx!

[@mikeseaman2809]

Great video but didn't you just get a 240 CH system? Excited for the tasting of this one.

[@benghmong305]

"if it's good enough to drink; it's good enough to brew beer." Have you ever seen craigtube? I feel like you guys would get along perfectly and seeing your collab with clawhammer makes me want you to brew a beer with my favorite Canadian 🙃

[@dps2137]

Where did you get the shorter stainless steel table? I've been looking for my brew system and haven't been able to locate one.

[@RyChannelBrewing]

YEAH WEBER KETTLE!!!

[@DrHansBrewery]

Awesome

[@mleukus]

how much starsan do yo put in the spray bottle to mix for sanitizer? thanks

[@FloraBrewing]

i think its 2.75ml per whatever that bottle holds? its just what they tell you on the bottle scaled down with some division

[@kndztr]

Wow, you have a huge pack of coriander seeds... :) Btw you could have measured the gravity before adding the sugar, then adjust the sugar amount to not have it as high.

[@vertharion694]

I love your content, I know have a lot of knowledge in brewing and your videos are really good, but this is the first one I would try brewing because my taste is a little diferent XD. If I want to remove the cherry should I lower the quantity of lavander?

[@FloraBrewing]

I say try it and see what happens! I love lavendar though ;)

[@vertharion694]

@@FloraBrewing I'm gonna try I want to do a nice saison and this seen perfect

[@RyChannelBrewing]

Since watching your video's I've been able to get to hit my OG... but for some reason it seems like my FG ends up lower than expected, which can kind of suck when I'm looking for a lower ABV beer and it jumps up over a percent higher!

[@federicoscrinzi3552]

The recipe lists 76% attenuation. That sounds very low for a French Saison yeast, no?

[@kennethhieke6623]

Right! I was afraid it would ferment her hand.

[@glleon80517]

Hah, I was about to tell you to pump pool water into your chiller before you told me that your garage is 95F! It’s mid 90’s in my part of AZ and the water at the bottom of the pool is about 80. Your tap water must be cooler than mine😉

[@philipedwards241]

Hank Hill would disagree, he is REALLY serious about Propane and Propane Accessories

[@AYoutubeAccountName]

I've been staying away from any bottled juice like that because it's generally got yeast killing preservatives. Is it just the yeast strain that's capable of surviving these preservatives or is the beer diluting them to a point where they don't work?

[@briansbacker]

FYI - I think the reason the alcohol content is high (next video) is that the Brewfather recipe download has only 3.25 lb of cherry juice but the text has 96oz (6lb)!? If I update the Brewfather recipe to 96oz cherry juice, I get 9.2% alcohol Now the question is which way do I go…

[@Dab3stxblasassassin]

Respectfully, I'm just here to get that new podcast episode expeditiously. Finished them all at work

[@myadventuresinhomebrewing9853]

You should try the kveik yeast strains as they can ferment in really hot temps like your garage.

[@kumar9809]

Would like to watch it's tasting video... Cheers

[@FloraBrewing]

Coming next week! tapping it tonight

[@Wrongald]

@@FloraBrewing I'll be watching the expression on your face closely when you taste it... Mine goes worse than usual when I imagine the taste of lavender in beer... :)

[@SigmaLigma.]

You don't seem to sparge. Hence why your getting 9% beer 😂

[@Leo99929]

The smaller your target OG, the higher your efficiency, because osmosis: The sugar concentration will be even between the liquid and the solid (grain) you remove at the end of the mash. More solid means you remove more sugars. And more solids mean that you need more water to dilute it to the point the removed grain has little sugar left in it. So you could mash with way too much liquid and boil it down but that takes time and energy. Sparging can help as adding fresh water allows you to lower the residual sugars by lowering the equilibrium point between the liquid and the grain. It's always a game of diminishing returns though.

[@bdiamond6199]

Have you tried growing your own hops? If you were successful, what is your secret. I live in Pa. and have not had any luck.

[@marksmalley4545]

Try Cascade in PA. Be patient, it'll take 2-3 years from rhizome to produce a decent amount.
