The links below are to the threads for the AP Saison, in chronological order beginning* with Poll #1 – Yeast Genera (started January 2, 2015) and ending with “The How My Averagely Perfect Saison Turned Out Thread” (started April 3, 2015). *The origins of AP Saison (but not its mystical calculations) remain unknown. Seeking it out is the way of AP Saison. Please advise of errors, omissions, broken/misdirected links, etc. Feel free to make suggestions for future “How We Got There” threads.
