I'm trying to look for an extract recipe for Goose Island's Matilda beer. I've done a search on here and found that it should be a mix between an Orval and a Duval so to my calculations it should be:
83% pils
5% caramunich
12% candy sugar (these are flexible to reach the OG that I need to reach a 7% ABV)
90 min boil
Styrian @ 75
Saaz @ 15
Saaz @ FO (probably going to use whole)
Belgian Strong Ale yeast (don't know the particular strain, etc)
I heard that you should ferment it at with the strong ale yeast and then transfer to a secondary and add Brett? (not sure what that is either, is that a strain?)
Does anyone else have a closer clone recipe for Matilda or will mine suffice? I'm also looking for three different but similar recipes for this kind of beer because I think I may brew 3 2-gallon batches of this to see which one comes out closer to the real deal.
Thanks in advance for everyone's comment.
