Your Belgian Saison Beer Kit is a light bodied, effervescent ale with warm malty flavors and a slight orange hue from the steeping grains. Golden Candi Syrup lends a faint caramel sweetness and a hint of fresh plums. The Belgian style yeast strain completes this farmhouse style ale by contributing a spicy and peppery finish. This kit offers all the flavor of a five gallon batch with all the ease of one gallon.
If you are making a beer kit for the first time, an equipment kit is a great and low-stress way to get all the equipment you need to make your Belgian Saison one gallon beer kit.
Equipment kit includes:
Good sanitation practices are absolutely fundamental to good beer making. Five Star San is the premier sanitizer you will need to make your Belgian Saison Beer beer kit. A great practice for extra protection is to have a spray bottle filled with sanitizing solution so you can re-sanitize everything that touches or goes near your Belgian Saison. Sanitation is much more difficult with beer than wine because beer has a higher pH. Wine's high acidity makes bacterial infection less likely but with beer, one small mishap can cost you your batch.
When your Belgian Saison is done, you will need bottles. This standard 12 ounce bottle is a good choice. Bottles do not come with caps.
The one gallon jug pictured here is the standard size for your Belgian Saison one gallon kit.
Auto-siphons are a great luxury item to have in your brew equipment. Once you have one you will never go without it again. Don't forget to use a heavy duty sanitizer to clean it since you don't want to replace it as often as hoses. A good sanitizer for that job is Five Star San.

Many people reuse their hoses for far too long. Replacing your hoses often or even using as single use items is highly recommended with beer making. Hoses are very hard to clean and beer is very susceptible to bacterial infection. You do not want to risk losing your Belgian Saison over a few feet of unsanitary hose.
Pouring your Belgian Saison wort into a jug can be tricky. Use a big funnel made just for the job. They even have different mesh screens to remove particles.
It is recommended to replace airlocks often. Because they never physically touch your Belgian Saison, the sanitation risk is too often overlooked. Bacteria can spread without physical contact in a closed environment and plastic stubbornly harbors bacteria.
Bungs and stoppers should also be periodically replaced. They can dry out and harbor bacteria.
Keeping your secondary fermenters clean before and after use is key to avoid bacterial infection in your Belgian Saison. This brush is a great tool to get into those nooks and crannies.
Stainless Steel Carboy and Bottle Washer
Stainless Steel Carboy and Bottle Washer is a convenient way of cleaning your bottles, jugs, and/or carboys. This high quality tool will come in handy. Hooks up straight to your faucet with the bottle washer adapter (#4804) and puts out plenty of pressure to clean those stubborn stains from beer bottles that have been sitting around.
When you bottle your Belgian Saison, you will need to cap your bottles. This capper is inexpensive, easy to use and does not require attaching to a counter. It has a magnet to hold the cap in place.
DID YOU KNOW
The first mention of 'Bière de saison' dates to the early 19th century. From the industrial city of Liège, it was crafted by professional breweries as a signature spelt beer produced for centuries.
