Zephyr Fermented Beverages - Monarch Bear Brewing. Friday, January 16, 2015. MB2015.1 - Sweaty Bretty Petite Redux. My Brother is getting married in a few months and I am providing a few beers for the big event. I brewed a saison (and a couple other beers) for a wedding a few years ago, so it seemed fitting to resurrect that recipe.The goal of this recipe is to be a table beer - approachable and light for quaffing in quantity, yet flavorful and interesting for pairing with food. Boil Size: 13.68 gal.

FED BY FERMENTATION: Requested Recipe: Little Heater Brett Stout
http://zephyrfermentedbeverages.blogspot.com/2014/02/requested-recipe-little-heater-brett.html
Zephyr Fermented Beverages - Monarch Bear Brewing. Tuesday, February 4, 2014. Requested Recipe: Little Heater Brett Stout. I've had a few requests for this recipe, so I thought I'd publish it here. It took first in the Belgian Specialty Ale category at Knickerbocker Battle of the Brews in November, and is a great winter beer. Funny thing is this was a "clean out my grain stash" beer, where I tossed a bunch of random stuff together. Recipe: Little Heater Brett Stout TYPE: All Grain. Amt Name Type # %/IBU.

Zephyr Fermented Beverages - Monarch Bear Brewing. Sunday, April 21, 2013. Sweaty Bretty (brewed 4/13/2013); AND 3 things I have learned about my taste in Saisons. I started this blog when I began honing my saison skills (about a year ago), and have pretty much dialed in a house recipe at this point. While I do like the classic saisons (Dupont, certainly! I suppose it is also no surprise that I love the pairing of the spicy yeastiness of the saison yeasts with a earthy and fruity Brettanomyces character.

Unmalted red wheat, milled three times. 1 Add 1 qt. 136ºF water to grain to rest at 113º F for 20 mins. I did this in a bucket (as suggested on the Mad Fermentationist Blog.

Zephyr Fermented Beverages - Monarch Bear Brewing. Thursday, February 6, 2014. Sweaty Bretty Rye - Brett Rye Saison. I was a bit disappointed in my last saison experiment (in December, no associated blog entry). I believe the carafa II that I used threw some "nutty" notes into the beer, and it turned out an ugly brown. Not what I was going for. (The brett C portion tastes promising though.). For the pepper and mouthfeel I used 15% each of wheat and rye in the grainbill. Sweaty Bretty Rye Saison. Boil Siz...
