My first batch in the primary in about 5 years. Thought and or advice please.
It is a belgian ale, attempting a double but I do not believe I made it that far.
ingredients:
6 lbs english light DME
1 lb belgian candy sugar
1 lb honey
5 oz munich malt
5 oz special b
3 oz belgian aromatic malt
3/4 oz northern brewers hops
1/2 oz hallutar hops after 45 min
1/4 oz northern brewers after 50 min
1/4 oz saaz hops after 50 min
Cooled and transfered to primary
Added Trappist Ale yeast WPL 500 after makin starter for 12 hours.
O.G. 1.043 (wish it was up around 1.060)
After 12 hours I have about 1 bubble every 3 sec in the airlock.
What are your thoughts, options? I am really trying to make a fairly authentic Chimay red down the road, this is my first go at it.
Thanks,
Gene
