Notes: On the day I got grains from Windsor, my preferred yeast (WLP500) was not available, so another “Switch” was made. I chose WLP550 Belgian Ale Yeast.
A fellow home brewer suggested using some Special B malt in place of some of the Crystal 80 to bring out some raisiny character. This version drops Crystal 80 to 4 ounces (from 6), while adding in 2 ounces of Special B.
Another alteration is the hops. Added a couple grams of Warrior to Celeia for 60 minute bittering, and subbed Hersbrucker at 15 and 5 for flavor and aroma, dropping Cascade and Northern Brewer.
Since I switched out 1/2 of Maris Otter for an equal amount of Belgian Pilsner, I opted to do a 90 minute boil.
Another switch from original recipe is to drop Amber malt below 20% of grain bill, and to use American Crystal 80 in place of UK Crystal 90.
Late Addition sugar (Belgian Candi Syrup D-45 Amber) is added at the 10 minutes to go mark. Stirred in very well to avoid it sticking to the kettle. Better still dissolve the sugar in some of the wort before adding to the kettle. |

ALL GRAIN VARIANT:
12 lbs: German - Kolsch
3 lbs: German - Dark/Red Wheat
0.5 lb: German - Caramel Wheat
0.5 lb: Flaked Wheat
Mash Guidlines: 149 F for 75 min using 40 fl oz per 1 lb of malt grain (8-10 gal pot needed for 15-16 lbs of grain)
GRAINS: This recipe assumes grains are double cracked to allow increased efficiency of BIAB.
PARTIAL BOIL: Add about 1.5 - 2 gallons (or as required for fermenter volume) of cold distilled/mineral water at the end of boil after whirlpool additions are done. Alternatively, do a full boil with about 6.25 gallons of volume depending on equipment.
Ginger by weight roughly based on 1/2 - 1 tea spoon per 12 oz of finished Beer
Cardamom - Crush and use seeds only for better flavor/fragrance.
KEGGING / CARTRIDGE CARBONATION:
16.5 psi @ 50-38 F == 2.4-3.0 vols of CO2
35.0 psi @ 82-68 F == 2.4-3.0 vols of CO2

Mash at 149° F (65° C) for 45 minutes (or until conversion is complete), vorlauf for 15 minutes, collect wort, and boil for 90 minutes. If desired, use Epsom salt (MgSO4) and calcium chloride for water adjustments, adding half at mash and half at sparge, targeting about 250 ppm chloride and 80 ppm sulfate.
Add 3 hop additions over 40 minutes of whirlpool. Knockout and ferment at 67° F (19° C) with London Ale III yeast.
Add the first dry hop addition when the beer has fermented to about 2–3° Plato from final gravity, and then add the last two dry hop additions after terminal gravity has been reached. Use fresh, unopened, sealed bags for dry hopping when possible. |
