Notes: The source for the grain and hop bill comes from Dan's Belgian Quad as noted above. However, there are several deviations both from the standard Belgian styles and the baseline recipe, including the use of cane sugar over dextrose and darker candi sugar as adjuncts. The biggest modifications, however, come from the use of Lutra yeast and the warming spices. Lutra was used for rapid take-off to reduce infection risk from primary spices.

Grains were mashed at 150 for 2.25 hours, dropping to 142 over that period by cold water additions and removal of mash tun lids.

Adjuncts (brown sugar, cane sugar, candi syrup) were added at the start of boil after protein break. Hop additions are noted in recipe, immersion chiller added at 15 minutes, boil spice additions added at 5 minutes. Immersion chilled to just under 100 degrees.

Yeast was pitched at 96 degrees F and fermented in a controlled temperature room at 85 degrees for six days, then reduced to 72 degrees F for 2 days. Actual OG was 1.094, and actual FG was 1.008. 11.3%ABV.

The beer was fermented in two separate 8 gallon Anvil stainless steel fermenters, each receiving one packet of Lutra pitched dry. A cheesecloth sachet was fashioned to contain half each of the primary spices noted in the recipe. Total time in primary was 8 days, FG holding firm at 1.008 for two days prior to packaging.

5 gallons were kegged (2x2.5 gallons) and force carbonated, 5 gallons are barrel-aging in a medium toast/medium char American white oak Bad Motivator whiskey barrel. After a few weeks, the barrel-aged beer will be bottle conditioned with Lallemand CBC-1.

The kegged beer is absolutely incredible. Wildly complex and the flavors evolve over the course of several sips. Excited to try the barrel-aged in a month or two.

Notes: Steep grains in 1 gallon of 152 water for 30 mins.

Raise to 168 and rinse steeping bag. Add 6 gallons of water and boil. Turn off heat and add DME in batches, stirring to dissolve. Boil for 55 mins. then do a whirlpool, stir 5 mins, add hops and steep 30 mins.

Chill to 65 and pitch yeast. Ferment at 68 . On day 4, add dry hops. Ferment for 6 more days.

Could also use 8.8 lb of two-row pale malt. Mash at 152 for 60 mins.

Notes: Born on 9/23/18. Start 7:00 am - Finish 12:15 pm. Fast start to fermentation (within 6 hours). Lost almost 1 gallon in blow off container overnight. Next time use a 7 + gallon fermentation bucket. Took gravity reading on 9/27/18 - 1.020. Dry hopped with 1 oz. Citra & 1 oz. Amarillo on 10/2/18. Cold Crashed on 10/8/18. Kegged and began carbonation under refridgeration on 10/1718.

Notes: BREWING PROCESS

Multi-step mash method:
The mashing and fermentation schedule of this beer is more complex than most beers. If you cannot follow the schedule exactly, relax, don’t worry, have a homebrew! I’ll try to offer some alternatives to simplify the process.
Mash-in to reach a beginning mash temperature of 55'C (protein rest) & hold for 20 minutes. Ramp or raise the temperature of the mash to 63.3'C (saccharification rest) and hold for 60 minutes. Finally, ramp or raise the temperature to 75.6'C (mash-out) and hold for 15 minutes. Lauter and sparge to collect enough pre-boil volume to allow for a 90 minute boil. Proceed with the 90 minute boil, adding the Simplicity candi syrup in the last 15 minutes of the boil.

A simpler mash method:
Mash at 63.3'C for 90 minutes. This will allow for a fermentable wort that will still make a great Belgian golden strong. However, the head retention and clarity will not be quite what it would be with a multi-rest mash. Lauter and sparge to collect enough pre-boil volume to allow for a 90 minute boil. Proceed with the 90 minute boil, adding the Simplicity candi syrup in the last 15 minutes of the boil.
Chill to 17.8'C, pitch yeast, and allow to raise to 27.8'C over the course of 5 days. If unable to raise this high, raise as high as possible.
Ferment at 27.8'C for 2 weeks. Then cold crash and lager at 0'C for 3 weeks before bottling in Belgian bottles or kegging.
As I said, this recipe calls for a lot of advanced techniques. If you are unable to follow them exactly, keep calm and brew on! You will still be able to make a fabulous beer by following standard brewing procedures.

Extract Version: Replace 5 kg of the the pilsner malt with 3 kg of light dry malt extract. Steep the remaining 0.5 kg of Belgian pilsner malt at 65.5-68.3'C for 30 minutes using a muslin grain bag. Begin with enough volume to allow for a 90 minute boil. Allow the rinsed grain bag to drain for 15 to 20 minutes. Turn off the flame and dissolve the extract thoroughly. Turn the flame back on, bring to a boil and proceed as normal with the 90 minute boil, following the hop schedule and adding the Simplicity candi syrup in the last 15 minutes of the boil. Chill to 17.8'C and follow fermentation schedule as closely as possible.

Notes: 2x Mangrove Jacks M31 Belgian Tripel yeast (possibly Westmalle yeast). Rehydrated at 34C.

Dextrose added 24 hours into fermentation.

Mash start 5.45 End 8.45
Boil start 9.30 End 10.55
3 Liters lost (1 to hop absorbtion and 2 to kettle dead space/cold break

Pitched at 18C. Risen to 21C at 20 hours with heavy blowoff activity. Fed with sugar. Upto 25C at 26 hours. Heavy blowoff activity. Ferment behavior sounds like Westmalle strain.

Saaz aroma oil at bottling.
9L dry hopped with Matcha Green tea.
4L dry hopped with Hibiscus.

Reyeasted with GV1 at 3 vols. C02 (Hibiscus at 2.5 vols).
