4.3 Gallons after boil / 1.107 OG / 1.023 FG / 25.5 IBU’s
9 lb Briess Pilsen Light DME
2 lb Dark Belgian candi sugar
1 lb Caramunich III
8 oz Aromatic Malt
4 oz Special B
1 oz Hallertau 3.8AA @ 60 min
2 oz Styrian 3.2AA @ 60 min
Wyeast 3787

Wyeast nutrient
This will be headed to the secondary in a few days so it’s still pretty young. I’ll post more remarks in a few months
*Yeast Remarks*
Initially pitched 2 Wyeast 3787 Activator (the big pack) which was still too low on the cell count according to Mr. Malty. I then bought 1 more Activator pack of the same yeast and made a 1.5 liter starter. I then pitched this about 5 days into fermentation.
*Tasting Remarks*
Very complex dark fruit and caramel sweetness with noticeable, but much less, alcohol heat than expected.
