So, im a hop head and usually do west coast styles but Ive made my first attempt at writing a recipe for a belgian style. Please help me sort it out, im a total newbie at this style.
Name: Betelgeuse
Style: Strong dark belgian ale
Calculated stats
ABV: 8.3%
SRM: 29
IBU: 33.5
OG: 1.082...
Ok, I was mislead by the name of the yeast and the description of it. Ill probably use the Scottish ale yeast.
I want a subtle cream soda kind of flavor to it like the abvc summer/winter solstice ales. I have no idea how you get that though. Help?
I thought it would be cool to do strong scotch ale with cream ale yeast. What is your expert opinion on this?
Heres the extract recipe I came up with:
7 lb pale liquid extract
2 lb 2-row
0.5 lb aromatic malt
0.5 lb chocolate malt
0.5 lb crystal 80L
0.5 lb carapils
1 oz northern brewer...
