A new 10 gal batch I recently constructed for a brew party on the first. Any thoughts? I was taking a look at other Dubbel recipes and it looks like I may need to tone down the Special B a bit. Haven't made this before but since my friend offered to buy the ingredients I wanted to make sure everything looked tasty! Any concerns or adjustments you fine people would recommend?

Your mash is way to high for the style. It should be around 152 so that the f.g. comes out low. Also I think you should sub an amber Candi syrup for the clear syrup.
 
THIS^ (sorta) less reliance on special B and DARK candi sugar.

I made my own pnce and people were in AWE.
