Good Saison Recipe Needed

[DonMoleon]

Hey guys, I'm back and need some more advice.

I'm in the US at the moment and headed back to Thailand in about a week. I need a good EXTRACT saison recipe, preferably something a little citrusy and spicy, and due to the hot Thai weather, the more flexible the fermentation temperature the better (mid to high 80s would be ideal). I need to use dry yeast as well. 5 gallon batch.

Thanks in advance.

Lallemond just came out with a Belle Saison dried strain, I havne't gotten a chance to use it yet, but plan to.

I've heard a bit of talk & excitement over it, but not actually anyone who's used it yet. Sounds interesting though.

I don't have much time left so I plan on buying all the ingredients at my local homebrew shop. I would have to say their yeast varieties are somewhat limited, so I'll probably need to use something that's quite common.

Also, would it be good to add some coriander and/or pepper to get my desired citrus/spice taste?

not going to be much of a saison without saison yeast...and those higher temps without saison yeast will just yield fusel alcohol and not the nice flavor of a saison or belgian...

You can't order from Thailand?

I can get saison yeast here, but probably not a large variety. I'll stop by the store and see what they got.

Realistically I can keep the room temperature around 78-82F at my house in Thailand.

Ordering ingredients to be shipped to Thailand is an option, but very expensive. I prefer to buy ingredients here and bring them back in my luggage.

78-82 is too warm for the surrounding temps keep in mind fermentation will bring that into the mid to upper 80s that is starting to push it even for a saison yeast, I would not use anything but a Belgian strain or you will pay for the morning after..
