I recently brewed a farmhouse ale and It turned out great with WY3726/3724 fermenting in the 90's. I want to brew a bigger beer with the leftovers and I came up with this recipe. I am stuck with the 12lb pils / 1lb sb since I accidentally mixed them together. I've never used special b in a belgian...hummmm. Any comments welcome.
