I think I'll throw a few hunks of bitter orange peel in there too, and maybe dry hop in the keg with lemongrass...

I assume thats a 10 gallon batch, judging by the amount of hops and total IBU

Interesting!
Please bring this one to a meeting, don't think I've had a rye saison before, would love to try it.

Yeah Andy, all my batches are 10g now, with the occasional 15g. I've never had a Rye Saison either, but the wort tasted pretty good.

No hallucinations?

Conveniently (and by that, I mean because I knew x was making this), I picked up a bottle of Saison Rue by The Bruery. Should be making an appearance at an upcoming tasting.

That looks sweet. I'd whack the orange to it, would go perfectly with the spiciness of the rye.

I did, but I think I may have been a bit light, only used about 8/9 pieces. And they were a bit old, but they may come through. I could also make a bit of a tea. My first impression is definitely hoppy though, much different than the Glacier bitterness. I may even experiment (on a small scale) with some Fee Brothers Orange bitters - it's burnt orange and sugar solution.

Just cleaning out the BK, I've never seen hop sludge so freakin' green! It looks like KC cole slaw, lol.

Well, this beer's a winner. That yeast came back from the dead with a vengeance.

Just into the full keg today, and it's a keeper. Of course, the secret technique is running over the keg with a Subaru. Clone that.
