I really need to get a saison on. What's the best you've brewed?
This is my house saison recipe, it scored 44 in a BJCP competition a couple of years ago. Even though it's 25% rye malt, the rye flavour is fairly subtle but blends beautifully with the yeast flavours:

Do you like this one better than the recent one you brewed? Or is the base recipe better?

It still didn't win, was beaten by another saison which was painful :laugh8:

They're completely different beers so hard to compare, but the recipe above is naturally much better as a "straight" saison, which I do prefer.

Rye malt...which to buy?
 
Drinking equinox IPA from @Hazelwood Brewery . 6.3% with Equanot & Vic secret. Thin head that disappeared quickly, low carbonation. Citrus hop aroma. Taste was bitter from start to finish and nice and dry which was good for me. Hop flavour citrus, lots of grapefruit and pine..nice beer..I like it alot👍🍺
