Notes
For a bone-dry farmhouse saison, Mangrove Jack's M29 French Saison is a strong pick. It attenuates 85 to 90% for the dry finish and wants a hot 26 to 32 C ferment to fully express its complex farmhouse character.
Give it heat and give it time. A saison strain that cools partway through stalls and leaves a sweet, under-attenuated beer, which is the opposite of the style.
