Brewed in April 2020, this Saison marks the dark time of the world, as we all learned about the emerging and expanding coronavirus pandemic. There was much messaging confusion coming from the federal government, about masks, social distancing and other remediation strategies we the public should adopt, and the entire situation devolved into political divisiveness in the USA. In many other countries around the world, the places where the virus was least damaging, were the places where the citizenry uniformly and universally adopted the correct practices to limit the spread of the virus. In the USA, remediation strategies became completely politicized, so our infection and death toll was among the highest in the world, something we will have trouble living down.
Brewed with 2-Row and Caramel 200 malts, US Fuggle and Mt. Hood hops, and fermented with Mangrove Jack's French Saison yeast, this ale came home at 6.75% abv, with 23.5# total grain, owing to the finer grind setting on my grain mill. Sparging takes nearly an hour with this fine a grind, but I am getting the most from the grain.
Cheers!
