American Saison Anyone heard of this?

Here's a recipe from the latest BYO for a Rye Saison:

OG = 1.056 FG = 1.008
IBU = 31 SRM = 5 ABV = 6.3

9lb. 11oz. US 6-Row
1lb. 11 oz. Flaked Rye
9oz. Turbinado sugar
.56oz Nugget 13% AA for 60 minutes
.25oz Amarillo 8.9% AA for 15 minutes
.25oz Centennial 9.5% AA for 15 minutes
.5oz Amarillo at 0 minutes
.5oz Centennial at 0 minuts
Wyeast 3726 (Farmhouse Ale)

Mash at 149

I think that recipe looks delicious.

That recipe looks solid...and expensive. Everything is added with a purpose. How big was the batch? Let us know how it turns out.

Well I didn't actually end up using a full pound of El Dorado flowers, only used 1/4 lb, still a lot for 5 gallon batch. I mashed at 149-150 degrees for 75 minutes. I had a gravity reading of 1.008 at 6 days of fermentation. I am hoping it drops another 2-4 points for FG. will be kegging and force carbing this on Sunday. Entering a local contest on the 15th, BOS style.

Looks good! I like the shit ton usage of hops at whirlpool and dry.
The aroma should be GREAT!
Just remember to compensate a bit on batch size 'cause them hops drink up some beer!

How did this beer turn out? Epsecially all that El Dorado DH. Did the yeast character still come through? I looked for that hop when I made my large hop supply purchase early in the year but could'nt find it.
