Our Saison au Miel small batch kit is designed to give you tons of flavor in a small package. The agrarian roots of honey beer shine through in this uniquely expressive beer, with notes of black pepper, exotic spice, a long dry finish, and boastful fruity yeast aromatics. A perfect beer for spring and summer, saisons have a tolerance for higher fermentation temperatures, and even get better the warmer they ferment!
We strongly recommend ordering dry yeast in the summer months. We do include complimentary ice packs with all liquid yeasts, but it is difficult to guarantee that the ice packs will survive the trip given transit times and particularly hot temperatures.
We had our first taste of it last night during the Bucks game. I put it in the 12 ounce bottles rather than the 16 ounce bottles I had been using for all the other recipes. Perhaps that is why it was slightly more carbonated, which I liked. I should also say that I used I half cup of my own hops - Centennial & Northern - AND a TBS of ground ginger in the 1 gal brew. The outcome was very pleasing! A complex brew, a little hoppy, but not overpowering and with a little bite. Maybe from the ginger. The idea of adding ginger was because my dachshund named Ginger was sniffing the contents of the recipe box as I opened it for the first time. So I got the idea and looked it up. Indeed, ginger and honey together in beer is a thing. I named it Ginger Honey with a picture of my canine best friend on the label. Home brewing is a blast! Northern Brewer is the best!

First Time Brewing
I’m glad I started here, as this recipe made a great tasting beer. My boil was too hot, and it yielded only a sixer, but would like to try again with a 5 gallon next time.

Dare to use this as a base for creativity
One of my five beer children during the Summer of COVID. With some training and guidance, she grew up tall and she grew up right with them Indiana (Georgia) boys (girls) on an Indiana (Georgia) night (afternoon). It was all legal, I assure you. She danced with jalapenos and pineapples. I heard a mariachi band at first, then a ukulele. At sunset. Yeah.
100% buying this again for more adventures with adjuncts. Thank you.
