We used single infusion mashes to produce fermentatble worts, resulting in dry finished beers. The grists contained well toasted Munich malts to give a rich malty flavour, without too much sweetness. A sizeable addition of bitter high alpha-acid hops was made at the start of the boil, followed by a blend of delicately aromatic Hallertau-grown noble hop varieties towards the end of the boil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe spontaneous fermentations took place in old white Burgundy barrels made from French oak. The initial cool fermentation and heavy hopping favours the wild yeast over the lactic acid bacteria, while the relatively short (sub two years) time in barrel limits the opportunity for acetic acid production. Together this leads to a more restained acidity in the final beer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe barrels were selected for their clean aromatics, snappy dry finishes, and crystal clear malty flavours. The blend was dry-hopped with whole leaf hops from the Hallertau region of Bavaria. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinally, as with all our releases, the beer was naturally conditioned in-bottle to produce fine carbonation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mills Brewing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58024656470397,"sku":null,"price":18.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0354\/9007\/0572\/files\/front_43c91707-0512-47d1-bba5-f6b111c31518.png?v=1775813524","url":"https:\/\/millsbrewing.com\/products\/saison-hallertau","provider":"Mills Brewing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
