Martin's Grisette Recipe Kit

Learn to brew beer with a recipe that is hard to get wrong. This Grisette recipe kit comes with every pre-measured ingredient you need to brew Martin's Grisette, a 5-gallon all-grain batch, from grain to glass.

Grisette is the lesser-known sibling of the saison, a Belgian farmhouse ale from the coal and iron country of Hainaut in Wallonia. Where saison went to the field hands, grisette was the miners' beer, lighter and lower in alcohol, brewed with wheat and drunk fresh at the end of a shift. The name traces back to the grey work clothes of the miners themselves.

It pours pale and hazy, dry and softly spicy from the saison yeast, with a lean body that comes from the wheat and oats. Saaz hops add a light noble bitterness. At just over four percent, it is built for a second and third glass.

A Note On Substitutions

This kit includes 2-Row Pale Malt in place of the recipe's 6-row American Malt; Appalachian Wheat Malt in place of the recipe's Wheat Malt, Pale (Weyermann). We stock dry yeast only, so SafAle BE-134 (Saison) dry yeast stands in for the recipe's Belgian Saison II (Omega OYL-042).
