Has anyone found a good 5 gallon PM Belgian Strong Pale recipe? I'm getting into Belgians and would love to make a good one to sit until summer time.
 
I did one....not technically PM but it steeped 3 lbs pilsner malt (if i remember correct)
just did a side by side & 3 out of people 3 picked mine over Duvel...so not bad : )
I can get my book back & post if you want ?
