Notes: Made this to feed and build up my Joystick (PacMan) yeast for later duty. If the resulting beer is good - it's a BONUS.

I got 1.031 on the OG and 1.008 FG for a 3% beer - Think BUD. Will package it in 3 days (It's long finished) just for the kick of drinking it. The sample was very -Meh- and would have been better with Pils malt would have been pretty spot on for a "Lite" like beer. Did not get much Orange/Tangerine flavor or aroma...I might consider dry hopping it with Crystal or Saaz in the keg for a week while it carbs and conditions. It needs something for an aroma and floral / germanic will suit its' demeanor. I really do wish it had more orange.

It's a cheap case of beer and a bulked up PacMan for another run of Dead Guy Ish, now that I have the correct yeast.

Notes: This recipe is a culmination of pooled efforts between JL and DK.

It is Preceeded by prior brews of Sweet Spot (to sweet, probably because of an extended boil) and Sun Spot not bad but overcompensated with too many bitter hops.

Not to say this is the Goldilocks but the recipe is between the aforementioned and considerable effort to minimize oxygen and oxidation following the brew remains a focus.

Notes: Mash, lauter, and sparge as usual, then add the candi syrup to your kettle (off the heat), stirring until it dissolves—you might think about doing this between the mash, and the lauter, especially if (like me) you fill to near the top of your kettle (it avoids sloshing wort over the side!). Boil for 60 minutes, chill, aerate, and pitch your yeast. Fermentation is the name of the game here—not surprising in any Belgian beer, but especially true of these dark versions. There’s a lot in this beer that might make it seem sweet, and so we need to make sure that it ferments out nice and dry. Leave too much body and sugar behind, and that, plus the alcohol, plus the esters, plus the flavor of burnt sugar, might make it come across as sweet, which is a no-no.

Ferment at 64°F (18°C) to start and increase slowly almost immediately. The goal is to minimize warm alcohols but also to promote complete fermentation and some yeast flavor contributions. From the time I see fermentation activity (usually about 8−12 hours after a healthy dose of oxygen), I start increasing the temperature by 1°F (1−2°C) per day until I hit room temperature. If that’s below 70°F (21°C) as it sometimes is this time of year, I’ll move the carboy to a warm spot and let it free-rise to as high as it can go. The Ardennes is a high-flocculator, and as a result, you want to let it get right to work, finish fermentation, and drop clear.

Carbonate to 2.5 volumes to give an added dry feel, and you’re good to go! The result should be a dry but complex beer that is a beautiful ruby-red, especially after a couple of weeks of chilling after packaging!

Notes: These hops are amazing! I could be wrong, but I think i taste more red fruits and blueberry or blackberry or something? Excellent hop all on its own. If anything, I may lower the hop additions across the board. I feel like it's a great balance of hop bitterness and flavor/aroma, so I'd like to keep the balance. Just maybe lower the overall amount.

Color is a little darker than I'd like. I closed transferred into a purged keg, so I don't think its oxidation, though it seems to have that color. Maybe lose the honey malt next time?

Still overall tastes great and super hoppy!
