Ok just tried the first bottle of the recipe above, and some of you had it right, not enough IBU's, however the spice seems to be right on, great flavor, not over powering, and complimented the yeast very well... However, still made some changes, added the Honey 1 day after fermentation begins...

Wondering if anyone has come across a clone for Bière Du Boucanier Red Ale? Currently I am just an extract brewer (5 Gallon).... Any help would be appreciated

I know this is a noob question but can u speed up bottle aging by increasing the bottle aging temp up? Currently I have a La Fin Du Monte Belgian bottle aging at 68 degrees.... If I increased temp to 75-78 would that speed the yeast to bottle age faster?

Good to know thanks... It has been in primary for 11 days and bubble has slowed to about a min in between.... Should I leave it still till 21 days? Also I was going for a Blonde with some summer ale flavor... That is why the lemon, grains of paradise, and wheat malt.... Good move? Or no?

Ok made some changes based on your ideas... Cut all my additions in half, dumped the ginger, changed brown sugar to white, increased the 1st ferment cycle to 21, and moved the hops to 20 min on the boil to lower IBU... LB^3 Laura's Belgian Bottle Blonde Style: Belgian Blond Ale OG: 1.083...
