After 6 months in the bottle, did a blind test with the original Leffe Radieuse.
I asked my friend 2 questions. Which is the real one and which one is best.
3 out 4 friends thought that mine was the original and all four of them liked mine better.
Unfortunately got a infection on my second batch of it, so will have to make it again as I have very little left.

It is not a difficult brew to make but if this is your first one, make sure you understand the process of brewing. If you have any question feel free to ask on this thread or by pm. It is a very good home brew.
Since you are from Ireland. Check www.homebrewcompany.ie. It is the best homebrewing supply shop in Ireland. They have good deals on starter kit, a great grain selection, yeast, hops and anything else you need to make beer.
Good luck

Just do it, If you like beer there is nothing as far as satisfaction as drinking a beer your made your self especially if it is a good one. And if initially stick to true and tried recipes you can hardly go wrong. Spend some time on this forum and look at what people are brewing and I garantie you you will get the bug. It is a wonderful hobby.

I have a friend that brew. I will purchase the ingredients and I'll do it at his house to see if this is something I might want to do more. Hoping to do it this week end.
If we want to do a larger batch than 5 gallons, how do we increase the ingredients, is it proportional. He has a 33l bucket. How much should I plan to make in such a bucket?
I'm using 33l bucket to. You can go up to 27 liters but not more as you will soon see the fermentation is very active and require some space between the top of the wort (unfermented beer) and the lid of the bucket. If you exceed this you will probably see the lid blow up and a nice spillage of yeast on the ground. make sure you put a protection under the bucket if you are storing it on a nice surface.
As for the ingredients divide everything by 5 then multiply by 7 and you will have the right amount.
With 27 liters you should probably make a starter as a flask of WLP530 is supposed to be good up to 5 gallons. I have brewed such a big beer before without a starter but better be safe. This should be prepared a couple days in advance of the brew. Just type how to make a starter on this site and you will find details instructions. It is not complicated.
The key is to clean and sterilise everything that come into contact with the wort.
Good luck and let me know how it goes. Maybe next time I come do Dublin we can compares our brews.
