So I've been searching for a solid Westvleteran 12 extract recipe (I'm still somewhat of a newbie and I live in a small apartment, All-Grain isn't in the cards just yet), there really isn't one out there. I've been searching a bit and so far this is what I have...
Westvleteran 12 Clone (Extract)
5 Gallon Batch
2.5 Gallon Boil
Grains/Malts
6.6lbs- Light/Pale Malt Extract (LME)
6.6lbs- Pilsner Malt Extract (LME)
1lb- Belgian CaraMunich
.44lb- Belgian Biscuit
.31lb- Belgian Aromic
.25lb- Belgian Special B.
.19lb- Chocolate
.25lb-Amber Rock Candi
1lb- 1 Bottle of Dark Belgian Candi Sryup (Added 24 hours after sitting in primary)
Hops
1.25 oz Styrian Golding (60 min)
.25 oz Styrian Golding (15 min)
.25 oz Haullertauer (15 min)
.25 oz Styrian Golding (1 min)
.25 oz Haullertaur (1 min)
Yeast
White Labs 530 Abbey Yeast
Bottling
Belgian Candy Sugar (Priming)
Tasty Brew recipe calculator said:
OG 1.109
FG 1.027
IBU 25
ABV 10.6%
SRM 37
So now here come the questions..
1. I've read a few clone recipes that recommend Northern Brewer hops, should I add that to my list or is that too much?
2. What are some good Pale LME extract brands, and some Pilsner LME extract brands that would work for this recipe?
So this is what I got. I drank the Westvleteran 12 a year ago and loved it. I have one more sitting in a cool, but not too cool place ready to taste again. I want to wait and drink it after this brew so I can decide how close or not close I am to the original. If you guys see something that could be changed I'd appreciate it.
Here's the links to the clone recipes I worked mine off of (basically the same), they deserve the credit cause I wouldn't know where to start.
