I've decided to spend 2019 investigating Belgian-style ales. Aside from one saison, which I really enjoy, I haven't done anything with the styles from this region, and I figured it was about time.
So I've put together the following Trappist Single, which I call "Wilbur's Orval."
It's for a 3 gallon BIAB batch.
5.25# Belgian Pilsner
1 Oz. Biscuit
1 Oz. Honey Malt
1 Oz. Special B
1 Oz. Saaz @ 60 minutes
0.5 Oz. Saaz @ 20 minutes
0.5 Oz. Saaz @ 7 minutes
One unit of White Labs Antwerp Ale Yeast WLP515 (if my LHBS carries it)
I'm aware that the Honey Malt may not be in the Belgian tradition, but I think it will add a nice touch, and I'm more concerned with the final taste than I am with strict adherence to a style.
Thanks in advance for your input.
