Sam summer has corriander, grains of paradise and lemon peel. Blue moon is coriander and orange peel. Neither one uses a wit yeast as far as I can tell. Now alagash white which is also popular around here in summer uses witbeir yeast. I get no flavor from blue moon and don’t drink it. But like I said Sam Summer is also mild but a touch of lemon which is why I enjoy it at a clam shack
If you do a cool fermentation it may be mild. I would ferment it warm and probably do ferulic acid rest at 140°
Thanks for the advice. I’ll give an update on this when I brew it.
You mean 104°. If you do this you’ll need to be careful as POF+ yeast can create 4VG, which is also created when ferulic acid is converted to 4VG by POF+ yeast which can result in too much 4VG and result in a clove bomb.
Edited: thought I was incorrect, but I was correct.
Sorry yes between 104° and 120° for 10 min. I do 120° because it’s easier to get the temperature up doing infusion. I’ve done it with hefenweizen yeast but not Belle saison but I bet it could be nice.
Is Belle a POF+ yeast? I went to the website and left the question but nothing yet.
I too have researched it and was unable to determine if it is POF+…
I found it to provide quite a bit of esters by pitching at 70° and bumping a couple degrees each day after fermentation began. So it wouldn’t surprise me.
Maybe so but I crave a bit more
I brewed with it at temps around 80 F and found the flavors quite pleasing.
POF+… WT… Heck does hat mean?
I made apple cider with… I swear a mouse pooped in the cider…
Where is Porkchop?

POF+ phenolic off flavor positive.
Nah, just lurking.
Was thinking you went sour… Follow the sour forums now… Hello!

I thought we made some off flavor comments and he dumped us
That was a nontypical flavored comment…

I’ve been wondering myself where he went to. Glad you’re back friend!
It was actually a different beer they chose than what was originally listed.
