RCE - BlackDuck & jimjohson Saison

[BlackDuck]

Jim and I have pretty much figured out our RCE recipe. Neither one of us has done a Saison yet. So that's what we are going to tackle. I believe we each have a couple of brews in line before we can tackle this one, but we'll get to it as soon as we can.

We've done a couple so I'm looking forward to following this RCE.

Man that Fedora Dave is a genius for thinking this up. There's all kinds of great stuff going on.

[jimjohson]

I'm going have to order the acid malt and the Sorachi Ace. So I might as well go on and get the yeast instead of using dry.

[BlackDuck]

It looks like I will have to order the Ace too. Not sure about the yeast yet.

Now the most important question....how do you guys pronounce this style?
S"eye"son?
"Say"son?
"Say"sun?

[Beer-lord]

Say-zawn is how I've heard it pronounced.

[BlackDuck]

Say-zawn is how I've heard it pronounced.

Yup....but you have to say it like a prissy little Frenchman!!!

[Kealia]

That's a better phonetic representation of what I meant, thanks. That's how I pronounce it, too. Now I just need to grow a little tiny moustache like this guy:

[BlackDuck]

But then again....maybe it's this Frenchman:

I don't want to talk to you no more, you empty-headed animal food trough wiper! I fart in your general direction! Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!

My personal favorite Holy Grail quote just to prove that I can move a thread further than anyone else......and faster too. I took thread-jacking in high school when many of you were in diapers!

[yankfan9]

I pronounce it different, "sayzone", but I drink it the same as the rest of you!

[jimjohson]

"Say"son but I ain't French. you ought to hear me trying to pronounce some of the cities and countries in a Conan book.
