| Tank 7 Keg Label |
I enjoy Boulevard's Tank 7 so this batch was split with 3 gallons going for a
Saison Brett. This recipe is for a 7.5 gallon batch.
Tank 7 is a big, boisterous take on the Belgian beer that was traditionally give to southern Belgian farm workers as part of their compensation. While we encourage you to give Tank 7 a try we'd discourage using any farm equipment after quaffing this 8.5-percent alcohol monster. Despite the high alcohol Tank 7 drinks easily and picks up mild grapefruit notes to complement this saison's classic, floral pepperiness.

The yeast we use for Tank 7 Farmhouse Ale is our house Belgian strain. For homebrewing purposes, we recommend Wyeast 3787 to approximate our house yeast character.
Note: Ardennes may be a true clone for tank 7 ..wouldnt reveal temp range though |
