I got this recipe out of Zymurgy some time back it was all about Belgian beers. Well the guy that came up with it (Mike Heniff) has I guess like 35 medals for brewing belgian beers (I am sure more now) anyway this is it I will DBBL the recipe this is for 5 gal and I dont know the Eff rate of his system so I am going to assume 75% that seems about average I would like some help or input PLEASE as I have never brewed a Belgian
12.5 #Pilsner
2.25# Vienna
1#Munich
1# CaraMunich
1# belgian candi sugar
0.75#carapils
0.1 OZ of either Carafa ll or chocolate
1.3 OZ pellet Hallertauer Tradition hops 7.1% aau 60min
0.5 OZ pellet Hallertaure Hershbrucker hops 4.4% aau 10 min
0.5 oz "" "" "" "" " " 3 min
he claims 1.095 OG
and with 1/2 gallon slurry of either WL WPL550 or Wyeast 1388 ferment @68 for 10 days FG will be 1.020
IBU of 40
I will use Belgian dark Syrup instead of the sugar and add just a touch of the candi sugar to make up for the small loss of fermentiables in the syrup
any thoughts???
