Awhile back JK posted some Homebrew recipes of some of their beers. I’m not sure JK makes anything I don’t like but Noble King has always been one of my favorites.
I took bottle dregs from one bottle of Noble King and stepped it up. 250ml at 1.024 and then added another 250ml of 1.024 wort when I could not see any activity. When I did not have anymore activity I add 1000ml of 1.040 wort.
I brewed a 5 gallon batch based on the recipe referenced above. I split the batch after cooling and fermented half with the Jester King yeast culture and the other half with Wyeast 3724 DuPont strain.
I let the Noble King clone ferment for 6 weeks, dry hopped and then packaged. The Clean Saison half finished fermenting in 3 weeks and I dry hopped and packaged.
OG was 1.043
Jester King Clone finished at 1.00, 5.6% ABV
Saison finished at 1.005, 4.99% ABV
Both beers turned out great.
My clone is very similar to the original. To me the hop aroma is more intense with the original but flavor and tartness are very close.
The clean Saison half turned out very good also, nice table strength Saison.
