Notes: Add 0.25 oz mulling spices to kettle at flame out. (at least 15 mins @180°+)
Make tincture from remaining 0.25 oz of mulling spices.
Add tincture in secondary for 3-5 days. Taste daily and remove to taste. (when cinnamon and nutmeg are present but not overpowering, remove if clove, Star Anise, or Cardamom starts to dominate)
Pre-mixed mulling spices can be used in place of this custom mix as well.
Custom blend: The amounts used are for the total mulling spices needed for the brew, half will go into the boil and the rest will go into the secondary fermentation.
-Cinnamon Stick: 1 small stick (~0.125 oz total, roughly 2-3 inches long, broken into pieces)
-Cloves: 5 whole cloves (~0.0625 oz total)
-Allspice Berries: 8 whole berries (~0.0625 oz total)
-Nutmeg: 5/32 tsp freshly grated (~0.0625 oz total)
-Dried Orange Peel: (~0.1875 oz total) |

Notes: Achieved 1.050 preboil gravity. Added candisyrup 10 minutes before flameout.
ended up striking with too much water and had 7.8 or so gallons in the BK
Target preboil with this adjustment 1.050
Volume after boil: approx 5.5gallons
Target gravity after boil with these adjustments: 1.085
Actual: 1.080 +/-
I hate it when I miss my numbers, especially on a beer I'm trying hard to copy, but this is OK. It'll likely attenuate 85% or so, maybe more given the fermentability of Pilsner malt and soooo much sugar. At 85% attenuation, I'm at 9.2% ABV, which is definitely Quadrupel-acceptable.
I contemplated adding the additional 0.5 # of D-180 syrup, but the extra 3 gravity points did not seem worth the potential risk of infection with adding it straight to the fermenter. I will just be content with this beer on the numbers side, and judge it on taste,aroma, presentation etc after it ferments and appropriately ages.

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! |
