I’ve recently got back into homebrewing and building my own recipes. I’d do one 
or 2 a year, but now I’m trying to do at least one quarterly. This was the first
one I did this year: There Will Be Blood…Orange Saison.

Style: Belgian Saison
 ABV: 5.65% IBU: 20 OG: 1.045 FG: 1.002

Extract Recipe
 Boil Time: 60 Minutes

Grains:
 0.5 lb Briess Caramel 20L – steep for 20 minutes @ 165

Malt:
 6.0 lb Pilsen LME – add prior to boil. 1.0 lb Wheat DME – add at 45 minutes
of boil

Hops:
 0.5 oz Magnum – add at 0 minutes of boil 1.0 oz Tettnang – add at 55 minutes
of boil

Other:
 1.0 tsp Irish Moss – add at 45 minutes of boil 3.0 lb, 1 oz Blood Orange
Puree – add at 1 week of fermentation

Yeast:
 Safale BE-134 Wyeast 3724

[[I don’t use a secondary anymore after issues with oxidization in brewing, so the
Blood Orange went into the primary. I also mixed 2 different yeast strains on this
recipe after; the yeast made the beer super dry. This was the first time I added
DME late in the boil, but it worked out perfectly.

The final product got rave reviews; you can hear the BrewsRoom talk about it in 
[this episode of their podcast](https://thebrewsroom.podbean.com/e/the-brewsroom-episode-35-you-can-lead-a-horse-to-water-but-cant-make-him-drink-abi/)(
jump to 42:00 minutes for the review). I’m willing to say this is the best beer 
I’ve made.

Unfortunately, it didn’t place well in a competition. I scored a 31 out of 50 (considered
Very Good for the style). It got knocked off because it was a little hoppier than
the style. This was my first competition beer and I’ve been told a 31 is a good 
score for the first time.

Next I’ll post my hoppy New England Style IPA, which I just tried last week.
