Looking to make a strong Belgian!

[chinneths]

Here is what I have:

Golden Light Dry Malt Extract 6 lbs.
WLP570 Belgian Golden Ale Yeast
Tettnang hops 4 oz.

I also have several other left over malts from my kits.. Carapils and chocolate I think.

Sounds like fun! Let us know how it goes.

Going to need more information before anyone gives you any advise...

What size batch?

What's your target OG? FG? This is important because if you want a strong ale, you probably need some sort of candied sugar to get the OG you want.

What is your target color rating?

Target IBU?

How old is your grain? Has it been stored in an air tight container? How much of it do you have?


What you have is basically just a typical Ale fermented with Belgian Yeast. You can try it and it might taste okay, but if you're trying to make your own recipe you have a lot more work to do
