A longtime subscriber of the channel sent me some wild yeast he cultivated off of some fruit from his backyard, and it is remarkably similar to classic Belgian Saison strains. Curious to the impact of this yeast, I used it to make a classic Belgian Saison that is one of the most unique and delicious brews I’ve ever made!

Ok, at the tasting part you completely lost me at “bubblegum taste”…. 🙁 I really don’t understand American’s tastes I’m afraid.
You’re videos are some of the best in the hobby keep it up
Beautiful looking beer
Thank you!
Most are POF+ and STA1+ that is true, but some can still be quite delicious! Good luck with the collecting process!
One of my favorite beer styles. The best commercial example I have had in the US is from Machine House in Seattle. The UK example is The Dark Mild in Bristol at Left Handed Giant and one I had from Moretown Mild from North Cotswald Brewery I had in Oxford. Enjoyed your video. I will try your recipe. Thanks for your efforts!
