I did an Enkel using an Orval harvest last fall that I just bottled after letting the Brett mature six months (last 3 with oak chips). Tasted fantastic going in the bottle. Should be sampling in another week...

Norther Brewer has a "Patersbier" recipe which seems to be the Westmalle Abbey's "Extra" It gets great reviews and is 047 or 048 OG. I have some bottle aging, 2 weeks will be this Saturday, and I cannot help but try it, even though another week will probably help things along nicely. I have a hunch I will like it so much I'll need another batch so that is what I'm planning.

I am planning on doing a ~5.5% Belgian with mostly pils and malted wheat, and maybe a pound of Munich. ~20 IBUs of something mellow near the start of the boil, and spicing with lemon zest and black pepper near the end. Fermenting on the cool side with Ardennes. I’m hoping for a crisp summer beer that will be good with seafood. I’ll probably take a gallon and toss some Brett L in (just for variety).

I'd love to find a clone recipe for Russian River Redemption. They call it a Belgian Single and it's a great session beer.

The recipe for Father's Reward Enkel sounds awesome - might need to brew that up for the next brew. Comes in at 1.040 - Pils, Carafa, Special B, mace, cinnamon and turbinado sugar. Hopped to a light 12 IBU.

Here's a rough recipe for a belgian pale that I made recently with a group. It's kind of hard to scale, as they just sorta winged it... efficiency was higher than expected, and I'm not entirely sure what the post boil volume was. They also just sorta threw in whatever base malts they had, but started with mostly belgian pale. Anyway, here's an attempt.

5 Gallon Batch

5.00 lb belgian pilsner
3.00 lb 2-row
0.75 lb cara-pils
0.75 lb munich
0.50 lb vienna
0.25 lb crystal 20l
Total: 10.25 lb

0.5oz magnum 60 min
0.5oz sterling 15 min
1.0oz sterling flameout

Target efficiency: 70%
Starting Gravity: 1.053
Final Gravity: 1.010
ABV: 5.5%

Ferment with a belgian yeast of your choice (I used WLP550)

5.5% isn't exactly a session beer. If you dropped the base malts by a pound, you'd end up at 4.8% but I think it would still be pretty good.

You can also simplify the recipe a bit, there's no need to have 6 different kinds of malt. If I was to make it using this recipe, I'd probably just use all belgian pilsner, skip the munich and use more vienna.

I have never had a beer like this. It made me really happy. I planned to do a second one as soon as I had the first sip. I think this is a beer I never want to run out. I may even become Trappiste. If you are looking for a session beer, this one is close, but so flavorful. I carbed it with 7 oz of table sugar to get more carbonation and I would do that again.

Oops.. just noticed that I had put belgian pale malt in the recipe there, that should be pilsener. fixed.

This is a damn fine beer. I've brewed it many times with slight variations. I prefer Styrian Goldings hops and my original recipe was a bit different, but always tasty.
