So I'm brewing my second Belgian and have pieced together this recipe (with the help of a few fellow HBT members). I think I'v got the recipe all hashed out, I'm just not sure about the hops and their schedule. Here's the recipe:
12.5 Lb's Belgian Pilsner
.5 Lb's Carapils
.5 Lb's Flaked Oats
.5 Lb's White Wheat
1 Lb Clear candi sugar
A lower mash in temp at around 149 or 150.
Fermented with WLP400 at 72 degrees F
Transfer to secondary with 7 pounds of peaches for a few months.
Transfer to tertiary and let it clear; maybe cold-crash.
I was thinking of using some styrian goldings at 60 minutes and some saaz towards the end or at ko. Are these hops going to go well with this recipe?
If so, how big should the additions be?
Also, because Epic ages this beer in french oak chardonnay barrels, I would be interested in perhaps throwing in some oak cubes. Any thoughts?
