Aerated for 1.5 minutes. I tossed in the whole pouch of Saisonstein yeast, which has a great smell. I can't wait for this to finish out. Pitching temperature was somewhere around 75F.

Gravity Estimates

Based on boiling 3.25 gallonsliters at 1.047 for 30 minutes, this will decrease your wort by 0.50 gallonsliters, bringing your after boil OG to 1.054.

You wanted an OG of 1.053. It looks like it will be over.

Notes:

Pours golden with 2 fingers of stiff foam. Aroma is kind of a candy hop, a light and sweet resin, maybe some tropical fruit but almost imperceptible. Flavor is more bold than the aroma but still subdued, mostly sweet resin with a medium bitterness on the finish, but there is some passion fruit there. Body is thinner and the nucleation is a bit sharp. Overall, this kind of sucks as a saison because it lacks the pepper and spice flavors I wanted. As an IPA, it is interesting but just okay. 3 stars.
