Saison Wit

I really enjoyed the Lithuanian farmhouse ale I made not long ago, and wanted to try the recipe with a saison yeast.

Brew Day: 27 Jan 2020

Partial Mash:
8 oz 2-row
2 oz flaked wheat

Boil (20 min):
1 lb Pilsen DME
4 oz table sugar

Hops:
7 g German Perle (@ 20 min)
7 g German Perle (@ 5 min)
2 g sweet orange peel (@ 5 min)
2 g crushed coriander seeds (@ 5 min)

Yeast: Danstar Belle Saison

Addendum, 2 Feb: Transferred to secondary.

Addendum, 12 Feb: Bottled today, on 2 T of table sugar dissolved in 1/2 c boiling water.  Got 9 good bottles, and one partial fill on a re-purposed soda bottle.

Tasting Notes: So far, I've really liked this beer.  It's light, with a good head, and a bit of citrus in the nose.  The flavor is very peppery, which is different.  Definitely a good one to try again.
