There's no such thing as a 10% Saison  ;)

But seriously, I see no reason not to drop hop this strong blonde ale.   Orval dry hops, and people drink it after 1,2, 5 years, etc.  It's at least going to smell heavenly in the fermentor.

Whelp, it's done now. 3.5 oz. of EKG, will bottle sometime this weekend.

Good on ya! The 3.5 oz will definitely make more of an impact.

If it turns out good I may give my next saison a similar treatment.

Also, I'm going to need more EKG.
Corn is a fine adjunct in beer.

And don't buy stale beer.
