------------
Amount Item Type % or IBU
6.00 lb Pilsner (2 Row) Bel (2.0 SRM) Grain 37.50 %
5.00 lb Vienna Malt (3.5 SRM) Grain 31.25 %
1.00 lb Aromatic Malt (26.0 SRM) Grain 6.25 %
1.00 lb Caramunich Malt (56.0 SRM) Grain 6.25 %
1.00 lb Wheat, Torrified (1.7 SRM) Grain 6.25 %
0.50 lb Melanoiden Malt (20.0 SRM) Grain 3.13 %
0.50 lb Special B Malt (180.0 SRM) Grain 3.13 %
2.00 oz Saaz [4.00 %] (60 min) Hops 22.8 IBU
1.00 lb Sugar, Table (Sucrose) (1.0 SRM) Sugar 6.25 %
1 Pkgs Belgian Golden Ale (White Labs #WLP570) Yeast-Ale
Mash Schedule: Double Infusion, Medium Body
Total Grain Weight: 15.00 lb
----------------------------
Double Infusion, Medium Body
Step Time Name Description Step Temp
45 min Protein Rest Add 3.38 gal of water at 132.1 F 122.0 F
35 min Saccrification Add 3.00 gal of water at 197.3 F 154.0 F
10 min Mash Out Add 2.63 gal of water at 205.6 F 168.0 F
I brewed my Belgian Pale Ale with WLP570 and pitched 7.5 oz of slurry from that cake into this batch.
When krausen begins to drop (about 2-3 days), boil 1# sucrose, 1# DME in 1/2 gallon of water for 15 minutes, cool to 60F then pitch into fermenter. The OG of the step wort should be about 1.180. I'm not completely sure what the abv of this beer is but from the taste I'd estimate that it is around 12%. If anyone knows a good way to estimate this given the steps that I have laid out here, please let me know.
Tasting notes and reviews to follow.
I'll give this a formal review when I have more time, but I could not be more pleased with this beer. It is very much along the lines of Chimay Blue.
