Ahoy mates!
Working off a recipe from Beer Captured, trying to more or less make the Westmalle Dubbel. I read in another thread that the Beer Captured recipe maybe is too much on the sweet/raisiny flavor, so my thought is to up the biscuit slightly and up the hops slightly. Slightly drier beer is the target.
What do you think?
Also... they call for a 90-minute mash. Why? Is 60 minutes too short?
Target OG: 1.068 -1.070
Target IBU: 22-24
Malts:
Belgian 2-row Pilsener: 11.5 lbs
Cara-Munich: 8 oz
Biscuit malt: 10 oz
Chocolate malt: 2.5 oz
Mash at 151F for 90 mins (or 60, if I can do that).
Adjunct
Belgian Dark Candi Sugar: 12 oz
Hops
Styrian Goldings: 1.0 oz, 60 min boil
Yeast:
White Labs Trappist
