Gareth's Saison v3

Saison v3 (Saison Dupont clone)
(5 gallon)

.5 lb Vienna malt
5.75 lbs Munton's extra light dry malt extract
1 lb wheat dry malt extract
1 lb Belgian light candi sugar

1.4 oz East Kent Goldings 4.8% (60 min)
.5 oz East Kent Goldings 4.8% (15 min)
.5 oz dried orange peel (Penzey's) (15 min)
.25 oz Liberty 4.8% (5 min)

60 min boil

yeast: WLP 550 Belgian Ale Yeast

Pitched 8/14/08, SG 1.062
Kegged 8/24/08, FG 1.015

The final gravity is lower than was previously the case for this beer: perhaps the warm weather meant the yeast worked more efficiently.
