One question comes to mind. Is a saison a sub-category
of a wit or are
they synonymous? They both seem so similar with grist bill, hop
schedule, use candi sugar, coriander, and orange.
I was re-reading Zymurgy May/June 2002 on Belgian farmhouse ales
and noticed the 2001 AHA silver medal for Belgian and French Ale
was a Wit using White Labs 750. This is our favorite Saison yeast.
Like I said in an other post, make a wit for a Saison yeast starter.
BTW, if anyone wants to read the article on farmhouse ales (and wits),
stop by with a few bottles of Saison and I can point out the finer
details ;-).
