Notes: Based on what Vinnie divulged, this is how I'd go about banging out a 5 gallon batch (don't think you'd want 10 gallons of this, hehe...) basing it on the requirements for an Oud Bruin...

Size: 6.0 gal
Efficiency: 80.0%

Original Gravity: 1.063 (1.040 - 1.074)
Terminal Gravity: 1.013 (1.008 - 1.012)
Color: 21.51 (15.0 - 22.0)
Alcohol: 6.58% (4.0% - 8.0%)
Bitterness: 22.1 (20.0 - 25.0)

Ingredients:
11.0 lb American 2-row
1.0 lb Caramel Malt 40L
1.5 lb Vienna Malt
0.5 lb Carafa Special® TYPE III
1.0 oz Perle (8.2%) - added during boil, boiled 45.0 min

Of course, add your whirlfloc and yeast nutrient. (This isn't an overly thick beer, we'd want to dry this out as much as possible.)

Nice starter of White Labs WLP530 Abbey Ale, or pitch at least two vials, and aerate the crap out of it. Hit it with O2 if you have a tank/diffusion stone.

Give it about 3 weeks in primary, keeping it above 70 degrees for the yeasties to do their thing. Rack when it hits 1.012.

Here's where I get fuzzy. Vinnie says that when this comes off to secondary, he removes the yeast. I'm assuming he's doing that by pasteurization? Either way, I doubt it'd ruin the beer if it's just racked as you normally would.

You'll need a bigger carboy than 5 gallons, to accommodate the cherries, so grab yourself a 6.5 gallon one.

Into secondary, dump a package of Brett, and give it another couple of weeks.

Into secondary, dump 2.0 lb mashed cherries, as well as a package of Belgian Sour Mix 1. For a full effect, soak 1oz of oak chips in some pinot, and add those to the secondary as well. Let that chill for 2-3 months.

Rack to a keg, stash for 6 months before carbing.

Hugely labour intensive beer, and man, if I tapped that keg after a year or so and it tasted like arse, I wouldn't be a happy bunny!

Notes: Duvel clone

This recipe requires a temperature controlled fermentation environment as the process ramps and cools the ambient during the fermentation cycle.

Cycle is:
Fermentation - 2 weeks
Lager - 2 weeks
Bottle carb - 2 weeks
Cold cellar - 6 weeks

Set aside 8oz of sugar in the recipe for the dosage, use explained below.

Use a soft water profile.

Primary - Initial
Start at 68F and after lag phase hold for 2 days then ramp temperature 2 deg/day to 78F. This first phase of fermentation should take about a week.

Primary - Dosage
Reduce temp to 72F and add the dosage(1gram yeast nutrient + 8-12oz sugar dissolved in 160 deg water and held at temp for 15 min) to primary. This will start an additional fermentation and keep in primary for additional week. Total primary fermentation time should be around 2 weeks. Adding the dosage will dry out the beer which will get the yeast to an 88-90% attenuation which is important for the style. The recipe has the dosage included the fermetables for total OG value calculation.

Lager
Rack to secondary if desired. Lager at 48F moving to 34F for 2 weeks.

Bottle
Use bottles rated for 4 - 4.5 volumes of CO2. Prime for this CO2 level.

Add 1 packet of dry champagne yeast(or other yeast with a neutral profile) proofed for 30 minutes to batch along with priming sugar for bottling.

Hold at 75F for 2 weeks for carbonation.
Cellar cold for additional 4-6 weeks to mature.

Notes: FG of a degassed (vacuum) sample of Drakonic is 1.017 which would indicate an approx OG of 1.084 with 8.75% & WL 001 yeast.

Straight from Drake's website...
Malt: American 2-Row Barley, Weyermann Carafa Special 3, Simpsons Caramel Extra Dark, Simpsons Chocolate, Simpsons Roast Barley, Patagonia Crystal 35
Hops: Bittering – Warrior
Yeast: White Labs 001
Original Gravity: 19.9 degrees Plato
Alc/Vol: 8.75%
IBUs: 40

3/16/17 Brew day: actual mash temps performed are above and main mash Ph was 5.55. Batch sparge was 5.68 Ph. Resulting wort was 5 gal at 1.047 OG for a 65.33% efficiency. Final vol 1.5 gal at 1.106. 70 IBUs Following day read 1.75gal at 1.116 so I diluted with boiled RO water to 2.2 gal at 1.092 and 45 IBU's Added DAP nutrient and shook it up well. BTW Nottingham says on the packet that aeration is not required. I just didn't want a stuck ferment on such a big beer, haven't had one that I recall but I've been brewing 10 years.

3/20/17 Update: The ferment was pretty crazy, luckily it was a small volume in a large container. It tastes sweet but my sample reads 1.014 adjusted which means I have achieved 82% attenuation and 10.2% ABV. Biggest beer I ever made! Planned OG was 1.085 and 40+ IBU's with a BU/GU ratio of .48; I now have a .50 ratio. Not to goal but a good achievement. I would bitter this to 60 IBU's at least if I planned this OG and attenuation.

4/24/17 Update: FG is 1.013 which gives 10.32% ABV. At racking the brew smells somewhat reminiscent of Drakonic but I have little care if it is since it's a different beast. More roast I desire...Lots of booze and some esters present. Can't wait to get my ferm chamber all set up.

Notes: Second iteration of my Rye IPA.

I’ve kept the classic hops in the boil but am dry hopping with tropical hops to mix things up a bit.

I've simplified the malt bill and tried to dial down the crystal malt flavour. I've also upped the proportion of rye malt.

I'm interested to see how the Voodoo malt goes, it is apparently "best described as a perfect blend of Amber, Munich, and Medium Crystal". If you can't get it, I would substitute a smaller amount of c60 and put a bit of light Munich in.

I didn't have as much dextrose as I thought on brew day so the OG is lower than the last iteration too

Fun fact: I thought there was something wrong with the US-05 when I saw no activity for about 12 hours so I also pitched some BRY-97 so I'm not sure which yeast I can attribute the success to.

It calls for 10 lb of Briess Two-row Brewers Malt (1.8°L), 2.83 lb of Briess Pale Malt (3.5°L) and 8.0 oz of Briess Caramel (40°L). I selected what I think are equivalents from the Fermentables dropdowns.

Notes: Add juice of lime(s) to 3 cups of water, bring to a boil then turn off heat. Steep teabags for 7-10 mins, cool for a few mins then add to carboy. Add nutrients and juice into carboy with an aggressive pour to help aerate the juice. Add yeast, put an airlock on then place in a cool (60F-70F) environment.

Primary for one month, then rack to secondary, topping off with juice. Leave in secondary until crystal clear (usually 2-3 months or so from pitching) then bottle with 4oz priming sugar.

Takes about a month to carbonate, tastes good after 3 months, but just gets better with age. I usually start opening bottles about 5 months after pitching.
