Notes: Winter warmer using local base malts (everything but the roasted barley and the aromatic was sourced from a local malthouse); features 40% dark Munich malt and a hearty helping of rye malt. Make sure if replicating that whatever pale or pilsen malt is used has high DP and that the rye and Munich malt used have enough DP to at least pull most of their own weight! Note that I intended to use only Notty yeast for this, but I only had half a packet (made 2.5 gal batch of something else) on hand, and had the idea of using Koln Kolsch yeast followed after 2/3 of ferment by Notty to dry it out the rest of the way.

Notes: Addressing our fermentation temperature from last recipe, the optimal range is 45-68 for the yeast, we would like to achieve a fermentation temperature of 55 Degrees Fahrenheit. We would ferment for minimally 4 weeks to allow the higher gravity beer lager well and have the diacetyl clean up. Luckily with the lagering of the yeast we will be able to crop out our yeast that falls our of suspension and transfer without much-to-any carryover into our barrel.

The original beer is not hoppy by nature, with spicy saaz hops, so fall out from which will not be missed or punishing.

As far as barrels we were thinking of using a brut champagne barrel. Preferentially aging for 3 months at a time. It will not attribute an exaggerated amount of color to the blonde doppelbock. Similar intensity of the former contents and the current contents. Dryness and subtle fruit characteristics would cater to the base beer.

Our goal with our barrel choice is to not alter the beer greatly, emboldening the flavors present, while picking up a dryness from the previous spirit. There will be some risks involved in using a non-spirit barrel The risk of champagne yeast carrying over would/could produce a lower finishing gravity, pushing the abv more. Purging with steam and CO2 prior to filling could aid in the killing of left over yeast, while helping prevent oxidation during the filling process.

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!
