Black Belgian IPA (w/ recipe)

[yetijunk]

Hey guys! I started a Black Belgian IPA the other week and I'm planning on priming it and bottling it in the next several days.... It's been fermenting for the last 12 days and I was curious if Belgians are generally left unfiltered..... Specifically whether or not simply racking the beer from the settled sentiment and any suspended yeast is enough!





---8lbs pure malt extract

---1/4 lb Aromatic

---1/4 Midnight Wheat

---1/2lb Biscuit

---1/2lb Crystal 40

(155degrees for 30min)



--1oz Magnum Hops @60min boil

--1/2oz Sincoe @ 20min

--1oz Centennial @ 15min

--1/2oz Sinook @10min

--1oz Chinook @5 min

--1oz Crystal @ Flame out



---WLP550 Belgian Ale Yeast







Thanks!

You might want to give it another couple of weeks before bottling. Belgian yeasts can sometimes take a while to finish. I had one Belgian that dropped 4 points between weeks 3 and 4. No need to filter. You can cold crash if you want but Belgians are best with a little age. By the time you drink it, the yeast should have settled.
