Notes: Heavy citrus notes with slight vanilla. Creamy and full bodied from the oats. Great blend that closely resembles orange juice, just not as acidic. Keg tapped within one hour at a friends house. Will be brewing this exact same recipe again, and again, and again.

Notes: This is a work in progress for a clone of HopFusion AleWork's Feisty Blonde.

Use orange blossom honey for the honey addition.

Add Mexican Vanilla Beans (scraped) post fermentation and let the beer sit on them 3 to 7 days.

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.

Secret Ingredient #2 Yeast: I usually go with dry yeast. they're more affordable for small batch. Liquid 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.

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 2/3 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.

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.

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

Other malts to consider Biscuit and Aromatic.

BCB Rye IPA

This is a tasty, yet big beer at 7.2% abv. The flaked barley gives it incredible head retention and a cascading effect like a nitrogen pour.

10# 2 Row Pils
2# Rye

8 oz. Flaked Barley

1 oz. Tettnanger FWH 4.4% (First Wort Hopped)

Notes: Mighty Duck! is an attempt at an extract Kwak clone.

Aiming to produce 40x330ml bottles from this brew so I need at least 13.2l available at bottling time. I'd need an estimated 15-16l going in to the primary fermenter.

Actually got 17l going in to the primary, topped up a little, to 18.5l, to bring the OG down from 1.078 to 1.070.

If I'd left the OG at 1.078 and fermentation ends at the anticipated 1.016 then the ABV would be 8.14% - closer to Kwak's actual 8.4%.

FG reading is 1.010 giving an ABV of 7.88%

Moved 15.5l to a secondary FV after primary completed. Is clearing nicely after the first week.

Bottled 46 x 330ml bottles from the secondary. Very little sediment and a good, clear, beer going in to the bottles.

Beer at bottling was sitting at 11C hence the lower volume of brewing sugar (corn sugar) than I'd normally expect for a target CO2 volume of 2.2.

1st photo is Kwak on the left, Mighty Duck on the right after 1 week in the secondary. Has the banana hit you get from Kwak.

The flavour development in the bottle has been interesting.

For the first month of bottle conditioning I tasted a bottle at week 1 and 2 and the banana flavour was reducing with bitterness increasing. I waiting until it had a full month in the bottle before tasting again and it was the same change - even less banana and more bitterness.

Zero carbonation at the end of month 1.

Waiting until month 2 and a big change - banana flavour is starting to re-appear and that rich Belgian Dubbel flavour is starting to appear. The bitterness has almost completely dissipated.

End of month 2 and the carbonation is starting to appear, a good hiss when the bottle opens but overall carbonation is light.

The beer is almost completely clear now too.

Now waiting for month 3...

Notes: Double Decoction:

*Note: Pilsner Urquell uses a triple decoction method with an initial acid rest, but I use well enough modified malts and correct for pH already so the first of three decoctions is unnecessary. The decoction measurements below are ones I developed for an electric system and err on the side of caution, so they are the lower amounts needed to potentially reach the next temperature step and direct heat can be applied to compensate.*

Perform a protein rest at 125F for 15min, then pull off slightly less than 1/3 (1.16gal/4.4L) of the thickest mash and place it in a separate pot. Bring the pot slowly up to 158F and hold for 15min, then slowly bring it up to a boil and proceed to boil for 10min. Stir often so the grains do not burn, but try to allow some 'browning' to help darken the colour and enhance the flavour/aroma profiles. Add the decoction back to the 125F mash, little by little, aiming for a beta rest temperature of 148F. Hold this temperature for 30min while adding back any leftover decoction (if any) as it cools. After this has finished, pull off roughly 1/6 (0.7gal/2.6L) of the thickest mash a second time and place it in the separate pot. Slowly bring the pot up to a boil and continue to boil for 10min. Add the second decoction back to the mash, little by little, aiming for an alpha rest temperature of 158F. Hold this temperature for 30min while adding back any leftover decoction (if any) as it cools. Once this rest has finished, raise the temperature up to a mash out rest of 167F and hold for 10min. After the decoctions and mash out are finished proceed to sparge/lauter as usual.

No Decoction:

Instead of the labour intensive double decoction mash schedule you could:

- Substitute some of the pilsner malt for vienna and/or munich to add colour and depth.
- Include some melanoidin malt for a slight decoction 'feel'.
- Add some carapils malt (or your preferred alternative) for improved head retention.
- After which, just carry out a temperature/infusion mash schedule based on your preferences.

**This beer won a national silver medal at the Saskatoon Headhunters Competition (2017) and has consistently scored 40's at other national competitions.

***With the regular 3.5%AA Saaz the hop additions are 1.5oz @ 90min, 2oz @ 20min, 1oz @ 10min, 1oz @ 0min.

Notes: We added about 1.5-2lb of fresh chopped peaches per gallon to the primary fermentation just before pitching the yeast. Peaches were frozen for a few days prior to brew and left to thaw out the morning of the brewday. One batch had skin-on peaches, and the other was peeled. Both turned out excellent. The skinless was a bit more crisp, but the skin-on was a bit more peachy, hazy and overall more fruity.

Also used 3 packets of yeast

Notes 12/21/2015- Kegged for 2 weeks now. This beer is growing on me slightly. It was very bland when first kegged but had matured a bit recently. It is a very basic porter and nothing more. Fits style guidelines and all but lacks any umph to make it dynamic. Would play with the adjuncts a bit before brewing again.

Notes: Uses Maris Otter Malt Extract for the liquid extract listed in Fermentables.

Uses Briess Cherrywood Smoked Malt for American Smoked Malt listed in Steeping Grains.

2nd half of Maris Otter to be added at 45 min point of boil(last 15 minutes)so IBU's will be slightly lower than indicated due to calculation based on 10 min duration for late additions.
