Award-winning homebrewer Paul Zocco (Zok) shared this saison recipe modeled on Saison Dupont, the definitive example of this beer style. This saison shows complex fruity esters with floral and grassy notes. The appearance is cloudy with golden hues. A lower mash temperature (145°F/63°C) would assure a very dry finish, typical of this style of very food-friendly beer.
This recipe is scaled to 5 gallons (19 liters) with a brewhouse efficiency around 80 percent. Zok recommends using soft, low-mineral water throughout the brewing process.
