Hi, new member here!
I am very into strong dark beers and particularly Belgians. My favorites include Chimay, Affligem dubbel and my new favourite is St. Bernardus Abt 12.
I have only just now had the idea of making my own, as these beers are quite expensive, plus I like the idea of home brewing!
My question is can I make a dubbel style/dark belgian beer using a simple home brew kit/standard 30 litre fermenter or would I need any additional expensive/specialist equipment?
Is this style of beer difficult for beginners? And lastly, if I started within the next few days, could I have something drinkable ready for Christmas?
Thanks for your help!
