Color: 6 SRM
Est ABV: 6.04%
5.50 lb US 2 Row Malt
4.00 lb Wheat Malt
0.50 lb Flaked Wheat
0.50 lb Caramel Vienne Malt
1.00 oz Williamette [4.5%] (60 min)
White Labs WLP550 Belgian Ale Yeast
Mash at 155 for 60 mins.
Boil 60 mins.
I based this recipe heavily on BierMuncher's Belgian Blonde (SWMBO Slayer). With this yeast, it's an entirely different beer, but equally as incredible. I've tweaked the grain bill a little bit from his, just to simplify things, and it has worked out very well. WLP550 is very spicy, and adds a nice peppery, clove-like flavor. Delicious!
