Looks good Chris. I will be interested to hear your feedback and opinion of the Saphir hops. I justed used them for flavor and aroma in a Saison with some Belgian yeast. I like Saphir hops myself. Cheers and hope the ferment goes well.Mike

Thanks Mike, I've only had Saphir once and that was as a dryhop in a cask of a Citrus based APA. The dry hop came through floral with a little citrus, I've been wanting to use them like this since so here we go.
