Youngs New World Saison - Questions

[deanobrfc]

Just bottled this tonight.

Colour is absolutely outstanding - hazey gold exactly as it says on the box.

ABV has come out at around 7% - anyone else get this? Not complaining!

The citrus taste is really prominent at the end of the taste.

Cannot wait for this to condition for a few weeks - seems like a good kit!

You need to do it before siphoning your beer on top. I think that it would be a bit messy to do it the other way around. I only have one fv and always do it this way. I use one of those teaspoon measures you get in kitchen shops for consistency.

Had one of these brewed in August. Very very good even if I do say so myself. I think that the hops will fade from now on.

Thanks for this.

Went with it and all looks good now. Starting to carbonate very well after a few weeks in the bottle, holding its head better. Smells very belgian and a lovely acidic lime finish. Strong abv too. Winner all round!
