Seeking Lost Trappist Recipes

[RJS]

We have a german monk too.

 

[RJS]

Actually, 3 or 4 our monks are fluent in french and german, one of those monks being french and one german.

 

[RJS]

RJS,

Thank you. We would benefit greatly from your skills and from the skills of your French brother. Please feel free to email us at our admin email address at: admin (at) candisyrup (dot) com so that we may exchange our ideas and mutual goals in this effort.

ok, i sent a test email to see if it works

Yes, we see it. It appears to have come from Sadhaka Rajanatha at Hindu.org. Is this correct?

 

[RJS]

correct

I hope when you get these you'll share them?!?!?

Me also! I recently just made a Trappist where I combined several different recipes from others. First time using candi sugar.

Look forward to make more.

Absolutely. All the recipes and findings will be open and posted freely on our site. In fact, we hope many of the HBT members will help us in the brew trials as a community effort. We hope to get some other industry participants involved as well.

Sadhaka Rajanatha, we are composing a common letter body now in English. We have a channel of communication with an abbey so we will likely send through our existing contacts there. We have some recent interest by Belgian abbeys in what we are doing here with our Candi Syrups. Our hope is that this interest will be a mutual one. We will email our letter to you for translation into French and German hopefully by weeks end. Thank you!

This is exciting stuff. I look forward to seeing the recipes and hearing the stories of how you recover them!

 

[Tyrone]

Great Project! Best of luck! :rockin:

This is a fantastic project! Some of the best beers in the world are Trappist in my opinion. I would love to help run a few brew trials for the recipes recovered so that we can taste a little bit of history again.

Best of luck to you all!

This is great news

 

[ArcaneXor]

Any news?

 

[shawnbou]

I see this is a zombie thread, but subscribed anyway. I can't wait to see how this turns out.

 

[dinnerstick]

i'm on the bandwagon, albeit a bit late, but can translate to dutch (=flemish) if needed

 

[Krazykripple]

keen to see how this turns out. i love some trappist brews

 

[PintoBean]

Subscribed, too cool

 

[BeerAlchemist]

I havn't read it but isn't there a book called "brew like a monk"??

 

[Lakeman]

Subscribed. I love trappist ales. I wonder if any forgotten yeast strain cultures are viable and hiding out there in cobwebby vaults somewhere?

 

[ArcaneXor]

I wonder if the new trappist brewery at Engelszell in Austria is brewing any of their old recipes, or if they are doing brand-new ones.

 

[SGFBeerBuzz]

I havn't read it but isn't there a book called "brew like a monk"??

Yes, and it is excellent, but doesn't involve recovering lost recipes but rather brewing in the spirit of the Belgian monks.

Still, I highly recommend it.

 

[RJS]

I dont know, i dont trust monks...
