So I modified a True Brew Kit to try to get the flavor I'm after. I love Rochefort 10, and was going for something similar, but maybe more fruity and chocolatey. Here is what I've come up with so far-
True Brew Belgian Ale Kit (Modified)
Belgian Dark Strong Ale
Extract (5.00 gal) ABV: 10.15 %
OG: 1.092 SG FG: 1.016 SG
IBUs: 20.0 IBUs Color: 44.7 SRM
Ingredients
1 lb - Caramunich Malt
Steep prior to boil (7.6%) - 56.0 SRM
8.0 oz - Special B Malt
Steep prior to boil (3.8%) - 180.0 SRM
6 lb 9.6 oz - Light Malt Extract
Boil (50.4%) - 10.0 SRM
1 lb - Extra Light Dry Extract
Boil (7.6%) - 3.0 SRM
1 lb - Wheat Dry Extract
Boil (7.6%) - 8.0 SRM
1 lb - Light Dry Extract
Boil (7.6%) - 8.0 SRM
2 lb - Candi Sugar, Dark
Boil (15.3%) - 275.0 SRM
1.00 oz - Galena
Boil 60 min (13.4 IBUs)
1.00 oz - Styrian Goldings
Boil 30 min (4.4 IBUs)
1.00 oz - Saaz
Boil 15 min (2.1 IBUs)
1 pkg - Belgian Ale Yeast
Wyeast Labs #1214
The Candi sugar will be homemade dark invert sugar, close to D2. I know Galena isn't traditional but it's so clean it's just there for Bittering.
I was going to get started this weekend, wondering how it looks and if it needs anything. any advice/critique would be appreciated!
