As a reward for passing an exam we needed someone to get at work, I offered the choice of a brew, and 5 litres of the results. Martin chose a saison, so this is based on a recipe in Randy Mosher’s Radical Brewing.

Comments:
Low hardness today, only 165ppm. Hop mix included 5g of something that another colleague found growing wild, which smelled a bit Goldings-like to me. I chucked it in at the 5 min addition, where it was joined by Perle and Saaz.
