Hi, all,
I'm putting together an ingredient list for a Belgian Dubbel extract recipe (first time not using a kit) and was hoping for a little input. Here's what I have so far:
6lb Briess Gold LME (60 min.)
1lb Briess Golden Light DME (60 min.)
1lb Dark Belgian candi sugar (15 min.)
.5lb Caramunich (steeping)
.5lb Special B (steeping)
2oz. Hallertau AA 3.8 (60 min)
1oz. French Strisselspalt AA 2.6 (15 min?)
Brewbuilder says I should have an OG of about 1.064, IBU of 25, and SRM of 19.05 with these ingredients.
And for yeast, either Wyeast 1214 or 1762 (with a starter for sure).
I guess what I'm most curious about is the Strisselspalt hops - I was thinking it might be nice to try something different, but I was also considering Tradition hops too. It'd also be nice to hear a little input on the timing for that hop addition.
My other major concern is the yeast - has anybody ever compared using 1214 and 1762? The descriptions I've read say 1214 gives off more ester flavors, so I'm just wondering what other people have thought of the difference.
Thanks for any help!
