I made this recipe (the extract + grain version) verbatim (I did adjust it to a 5.5 gal batch), using Wyeast 1214 Abbey Ale. It's been in the bottle about 4 1/2 weeks now.
This is the best beer I've ever made: gorgeous pale orange color, crisp flavor with a balance of bitterness, spiciness, belgian yeast tang and mild maltiness, and subtle orange peel & EKG aroma hops.
This recipe is a winner. Next time I try it I may increase the hop level slightly and try the more peppery 3522 or 3724. (3724 is weird--temp range up to 85 F!)
