going to try and brew a 3 philosophers type beer. belgian quad with 2% cherry lambic
og 1.096
fg 1.010
abv 11.5%
ibu 26.2
grain bill:
12# belgian 2-row
2# belgian pils
.5# belgian aromatic
3# belgian candi sugar, amber
hops:
.75oz hallertau 8%aa 60 min
1oz saaz 7%aa 20 min
yeast:
wyeast belgian strong ale 1388
any tips on this recipe would be greatly appreciated. i am pretty set on the ingredients, unless someone has strong objections, but am specifically looking for help with fermentation, i.e. how large of a starter would i need. temperature control. And, in order to get the 2% cherry lambic, I was just going to add one bottle of a sam adams cherry lambic... to bottling? not sure on that part.
thanks in advance
