Mashing Instructions: 

Regular infusion mah at 154 

Hops: 

.5 ounces of Amarillo at first wort 

.25 ounces of Nugget at 60 minutes 

.5 ounces of sterling at 15 minutes 

.5 ounces of crystal at flame out 

Yeast: 

The main yeast strain is The Yeast Bay's Wallonian Saison Strain at which I fermented the beer at 72 degrees for 2 weeks 

Following Primary fermentation I added The Yeast Bay's Beersals Brett blend and aged for 2 months. 

 

Special Instructions / Notes: 

I entered this beer into a competition in which both judges said there was a a bit too much brett character. I would maybe suggest leaving the beer in primary for a bit longer to dry the beer out a bit more or lower the mash temp. The main yeast stain produced a nice spice and a little funk while the brett took over to create flavors of pears and apple skins.
