DFH Raison D'etre All Grain Recipe Wanted

[ultravista]

I'm looking for a tried and true all grain Raison D'etre recipe. Yes, I know there's a recipe in Sam's book but I can't seem to find someone who tried it and rates it as good as the real deal. It should be the real deal ...

Also, what is a decent sub for Belgian Ardennes (3522)? Would just about any Belgian yeast do or is Ardennes a must?

Just found this thread. It is for an extract recipe but you can sub in base malt.

As for converting the malt extract to grain, I found a post from Yooper

Generally, 1 pound grain = .75 pounds LME = .6 pounds DME.

I'm not sure about the Ardennes yeast though. I would just go with the Belgian Abbey II that's suggested in the recipe

Good luck!
