Yeast

SafBrew T-58 · 70–80% atten · 64–77°F

Process

  • Mash at 149°F for 60 min
  • Boil 90 min
  • primary cool: 3 days @ 68°F
  • primary warm: 14 days @ 80°F

Notes

A simple pilsner-and-wheat grain bill plus warm fermentation does the heavy lifting. Pitch cool, then ramp up the temperature gradually to 78–80°F to drive attenuation.

Brewer: Don't be afraid to let it sit — saison yeast often crawls to FG over weeks. A small dose of US-05 at 8 days can help nudge it across the line.

Packaging: Carbonate high — 3.0–3.5 vols.
