So I want to do a strong golden Belgian and incorporate one of my favorite fruits, peaches.
one classic example, and one of my favorite beers, is Epic's Brainless on Peaches.
I'm assuming that they start off with a basic strong trippel and add fruit at the end of the boil and/or in the secondary.
So I'm thinking:
12 lb's Belgian Pilsner
.5 lb's Belgian carapils
1.5 lb's Clear candi sugar
projected OG 1.073 at 72% efficiency
I'm hoping the OG will go up with the addition of the peaches.
I was also wondering about the yeast they use and if they used any bugs such as brett or lacto.
I'll stick with noble hops and keep 'um light, I really want to make the peaches present.
any thoughts on the malt bill or yeast?
