Dubbel Hearted Recipe

[burly]

I’ve got a Trappist yeast cake that will be leftover from a lower ABV White IPA and some Centennial hops I’ve been wanting to use in a Two Hearted clone. Because the yeast (Wyeast 3787) is a high-gravity yeast, I’ve been searching for a higher gravity style that would appeal to me. This combination dawned on me today, and I haven’t found much in the way of anything similar. Maybe there’s a reason?

My general recipe for a 5 gallon batch with some ingredients I have on hand is below, and I’d be grateful for any feedback people might have (please pardon the extract).

3.3 lbs Bavarian Wheat LME
7 lbs Amber LME
1 lb dark brown sugar (dark candi sugar if I can get my hands on it)
0.5 oz Centennial pellet 10 AA (60 minutes)
1 oz Centennial pellet 10 AA (30 minutes)
1 oz Centennial pellet 10 AA (15 minutes)
1 oz Centennial pellet 10 AA (5 minutes)
1 oz Centennial pellet 10 AA (flameout)
1 oz Centennial pellet 10 AA (hopstand for 30 minutes @180 degrees)
Wyeast Trappist High Gravity 3787 at 66 degrees

Plugging into Brewer’s Friend, it says I should get an OG of about 1.071, final ABV of 7.02%, SRM 15.05, and Tinseth IBU of 72.7.

In the spirit of homebrewing, i say you try it and report back. Those are two of my favorite styles. Dubbel Hearted is also a sweet name.

+1 on a great name!

If the recipe doesn't turn out I vote you keep tweaking it because a name that good deserves a matching recipe.

For my 2-Hearted I usually do a 60 minute (1oz) a 20 minute (1oz) and a flame-out (2oz). Then dry hop with ~1oz.

I appreciate the encouragement. I was able to get some Amber Candi sugar/syrup from my LHBS, so I'm going to give a go this weekend. I'll update when it comes around.

Refer Cali-Belgique by Stone Brewing.
They brew their IPa recipe, and use Belgian Yeast.
Beer is all Centennial. I think they use 3522 yeast, but 3787 works well.
