Well... here's my first recipe I'm confident enought o post! I waited to see if it was any good after some flawed ones in the past and this is very exciting.. it is!
It ended up tasting alot like unibroue's don de dieu unintentionally, to be honest I'm not sure why it has ended up with such a sweet taste, but it works out and really does taste like don de dieu in many ways, i can definitely feel the wheat in it. but here it is
5kg (11lb) pilsner malt
0.5lb home-toasted flaked oats (quaker oats for about 15 minutes at 300)
0.5lb flaked wheat
4oz 135L crystal (my LHBS says its the same as special b, which they dont have)
1lb homemade candy sugar (around 2 srm)
mashed 15 litres of water at ~154 for 65 mins
sparged with 13 litres of water at ~165
Total Mash Volume Gal: 7.5
efficiency about 67% (my equipment is fairly primitive, but it worked out)
75 minute boil time
2oz styrian goldings at 60 min
0.5oz saaz at 15 min
0.5oz saaz at 5 min
1 tsp freshly crushed coriander at 5 min
1lb candi sugar at 5 min
rehydrated safbrew t-58 yeast in water as recommended on package
carbonated for about 2.9 volumes of co2
ended up attenuating more than i thought, down to 1.010 for about 7.2 ABV
i hope you try it, or at least use this recipe as a base for your own! its pretty cheap to make and tastes very interesting
