I'm brewing a SMaSH Peach Belgian Saison.
10.5 # of Maris Otter
1 oz. of Hallertau (FWH)
.5 oz. of Hallertau (10 minutes)
Lallemand Belle Saison yeast
OG = 1.052
IBU's = 24.3
Questions I have:
I want a noticeable hint of peach aroma and flavor, but not sickenly sweet.
How much frozen peach in the secondary?
How much will the peaches add to my OG? I know that technically it isn't adding to the OG, since it's in the secondary, but I'm planning on creating two recipes (one with the peaches and one without), so that I can plan my hop rate accordingly.
Should I increase the hops to account for the additional sugar from the peaches? I'm assuming yes.
If I were to know what the frozen peaches were adding to my OG, I think I can plan accordingly to get a good balance and not have it overly sweet.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
