Notes: Can sub honey for the cane sugar if you want a touch of honey character to complement the malt flavors.

French Strisselspalt hops for the late addition would be good as well.

Lots of possible yeast choices for Biere de Garde: Can use a cool-fermented hybrid strain like Kölsch or Alt (German Ale), a Belgian Ale strain fermented on the cool side (don’t want too high esters and phenolics, but some), such as WLP 515 or WLP 570/Wyeast 1388, a farmhouse strain like Wyeast 3726, or Wyeast 3725-PC (Biere de Garde), WLP 072 (French Ale) or WLP 073 (Artisinal Country Ale) would be ideal... if you can find any of them. Additionally, can use a lager strain fermented on the warm side.

Lager for 1-6 months, if you can wait that long!

Won silver in Belgian Ale category at the 2018 Dixie Cup competition.

Notes: *26oz of Marris Otter was Cold-Smoked for an hour with Mesquite Wood. It then was sealed in Mason Jars for 5 days to cure.

**7 Quarts of Mash water heated to 181 degrees and then poured into Mash Tun to temper for 15 Minutes. After 15 minutes the Tun temp was 171.

***After Dough-In the temp dropped too far down to 150, I added roughly 3 quarts of Boiling Water to raise temp to 158 degrees. Started timer for 60 minutes at this point.

****First Runnings were 1.077 on Hydrometer and 1.075 on Refractometer.

*****I adjusted Refractometer to Hydrometer readings and Pre-Boil measured 1.052 on both Instruments.

******Measured Post Boil Gravity at 1.067 on Refractometer, 1.067 on Hydrometer as well.

Checked Gravity on June 5th and it was at 1.023 for a ABV of 5.78% and 67% Attentuation. (It did take 3.5 days to get started from initial pitch).

Notes: The DME is only in the recipe because my efficiency is a little bit low - you can leave this out.

The lager is really nice - you'd be impressed if you got it in a pub. But it is just a little bit too bitter, so I'd either use a lower AA hop for bittering or use a bit less of it.

Notes: Add sugar to the boil during the last 10-15 minutes.

A small dry-hop (≈.25oz) of Saaz (or any noble hops) also works well.

Yeast alternatives:
W-34/70 - Replace the sugar in the recipe with added base malt or the beer will over-attenuate. (fermented warm, low to mid 60s F)
WLP029
