Anyone tried to brew a Leffe brune (brown) clone? I found some recipes on the forum, but not any comment... This brown Abbey beer is so good!!! Here's what I found:
I don't have experience in all grain yet, but I really like this beer (the real one). I will complete my new rig in one or 2 weeks and I think I will try this one... Which recipe do you think is more accurate? If I try the first recipe (Brew-boy's one) and keg it, do I have to adjust the recipe since I will not add dark DME? Am I aiming too high for a first all grain?? Be free to comment.
