dark malt in saison

(1/5) > >>

goschman:
Hey guys. I have been tossing around the idea of doing my first saison soon. I was thinking about making it darker than a tradtional Saison by adding chocolate, midnight wheat, carafa, etc. Any thoughts?

Pils 75%
Munich 10%
Wheat 10%
Dark Malt (chocolate? carafa?) 5%

gmac:
Since you're not sure what malt, I'm gonna assume you're just looking for colour and not flavour.
So, then the question is simple.  Gonna enter it in competitions?  Yes, don't do it.  No, who cares, go for it.

euge:
I've done this. However you might want to call it a dubbel instead. ;)

Go for it it's your beer.

majorvices:
I've made red saisons and black saisons and, of course, pale saisons. It's really up to you. Understand that the yeast is going to play a critical role here so you may want to start out with a pale saison so you can see what flavors to expect and then design your darker saison accordingly.

mtnrockhopper:
There is a Zymurgy issue with lots of saison recipes, many dark. I think it is 1-2 years ago - might be on eZymurgy?
