Original recipe uses Crystal 120L and Crystal 40L and dark munich. However, UK chocolate is apparently a lot darker so this is coming out the same colour.

Original recipe suggest 10ml per 473ml of beer and 2 vanilla pods for 7-14 days

If bottling 21L that is 444ml bourbon.

I think it might be a good idea chop and scrape the vanilla pods and soak in some of the bourbon (for sanitisation). Then add the whole lot to the primary. This is going to extract some flavour, so should probably be counted in the steeping time.

So: 2 vanilla pods scraped in 200ml bourbon for 2 days. Chuck the lot into primary for 12 days, then bottle with another 244ml bourbon and priming sugar.

2.00 oz Centennial [9.60 %] (Dry Hop 7 days) Hops -

1 Pkgs Pacman Yeast (Wyeast) [Starter 50 ml] [Cultured] Yeast-Ale

You could use any well-attenuating clean ale yeast. WLP001, or Wyeast 1056 come to mind, or S05 for dry.

Mash at 152.
My beers seem to attenuate really well- so use a lower mash temp if you've have attenuation problems in the past. I got about 82% attenuation with the pacman yeast.

For extract, a full boil would be the same but use 8 pounds light or extra light DME.
For an extract batch with a 2.5 gallon boil, do this:
4 pounds DME
1 pound crystal 20
4 pounds DME (added at flame out)
Hopping the same.

Notes: Add belgian candi syrup before the boil, taking kettle off heat.

Secret Ingredient #1: I chose Belgian Candi 40L in recipe to meet style SRM requirements (it's all my LHBS had). For a second batch I plan to try 80L or Darker and leave out the chocolate malt.

I threw in a small amount of Chocolate Malt for color. You can choose to leave this out to hit the suggested SRM color. It was just a personal preference as I am in a dark winter mood.

Secret Ingredient #2 Yeast: I usually go with dry yeast. they're more affordable for small batch. Liquid Yeast seems to be proper for this style though. Safbrew BE-256 Abbaye was no less expensive than a good liquid yeast but I figured I could use the pack for 2 small batches. (Finished product I would say was pretty close in flavors)

If scaling to a larger batch I would try Wyeast 1214 Belgian Abbey Style Ale, Wyeast 3787 Trappist High Gravity yeast (Westmalle) or Wyeast 1762 Belgian Abbey Style Ale II (Rochefort).

Yeast Temps: Style suggests starting an abbey yeast at 64f up to 68f for 48hrs to minimize fusels. At 1/3 sugar break move it to 74-78f. The yeasts could increase to these temps on its own also. This is something I will attempt by moving out of my basement to warmer rooms at about 1.046 gravity or sooner. Update: I I hit FG in 3 days at 64-68 before I could even attempt warmer temps.

Optional: Because this is a high gravity recipe I made a Yeast starter using 6g of GoFerm and 5g yeast. I have this on hand for Mead making.

Lower steep/mash temp (148) should get you a lower dryer gravity

Take note of higher priming sugar. Style suggests higher volume.

Bottle condition recommendations are longer. Minimum 6 weeks, but better at 2 months.

Other notes:
The wheat is added for mouth feel and head retention.

Maris Otter Pale malt can also be all Pilsner.
Pilsen is in a lot of recipes. I used DME to help with OG.

Any NOBLE HOP could be used: Halltertau, Saaz, Hersbrucker, Styrian Golding, Willamette, East Kent Golding

Other malts to consider Biscuit and Aromatic.
