Notes: Made a 2.2 L starter w/ 8 oz. DME (pale/pilsner mix). Put starter in the fridge after 12 hours to decant, but noticed globs of yeast jumping from the bottom cake 3 hours later (still in fridge). Took starter out of the fridge as i chilled the wort to 72 degrees. Decanted about a liter of liquid and pitched the rest. Would have liked to decant all of the liquid, but I figured there might be a fair amount of yeast still in suspension. I hope it doesn't screw the batch. Kreuzen forming activity w/ in 4 hours of pitching yeast. Still at 72 degrees in a room that is significantly cooler than that. I've got a fermwrap on it that will kick on at 69 and turn off at 70. Planning to ferment at 70.
Edit: I screwed up the hop schedule b/c when I originally was formulating the recipe it was as a 3 gallon boil. I did a 6.5 gallon boil, so I got more utilization. Still w/in the style, but will likely be more bitter than Fuller's. Time will tell.
After 3 days the beer was down to FG of 1.013. I was getting some jumping globs of yeast at the bottom of the carboy, which I suspect was off gassing giving some flocs a ride. This was still apparent, but minimal, when I racked on to .33 oz of EKG in secondary on day 8. Tasted ok. A bit fruity and perhaps a tad too bitter (see above). Based on some reading, I probably fermented too warm which upped the fruitiness. Still, I'm looking forward to seeing how it develops. |

Notes: Step 1. Add 3 quarts of water to a 6 to 8 quart sauce pan and heat to 165-170° and stir in grains. Steep for 30-45 minutes in a warm oven. Then pour grain mixture through a strainer into your boiling kettle. Rinse (sparge) grains with 2 quarts of 160-170° water into boiling kettle.
Step 2. Meanwhile, add 2.5 gallons of water to boiling kettle and bring to a boil. When the water is boiling, remove from heat; add malt extract and MIX WELL. Return kettle to heat and bring to a boil. Add boiling hops and boil for one hour. Add finishing hops at the last 5 minutes.
Step 3. When your hour boil is done, turn off the heat and place boiling kettle in a bath of ice water. Sanitize a stainless steel spoon and remove the lid and stir wort every five minutes or so to evaporate heat. Leave the spoon in the wort with lid ajar while doing this. After thirty minutes pour wort through a strainer to strain out hops into fermenter; add enough cold water to yield five gallons. When the temperature is below 80°, AERATE the wort by vigorously stirring to incorporate as much air as possible. Add yeast per package instructions. Ferment between 65-70°. |

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. |

Notes: Brewed April 2015 (my first home brew)
Named after the amount of hops (210 g), recipe inspired by Stone Brewing's Ruination IPA
OG: 1.062
Two tubes of WLP001 California Ale yeast added
Fermented at a stable 21 degrees Celsius
FG (after 7 days): 1.010, unchanged after 11 days
ABV: 6.8 (possibly rising to 7 after carbonation)
Packaged after 15 days, Coopers carbonation drops added
Taste note after 8 days in the bottle (almost no carbonation): Crisp and fruity taste. Dry. Not much aroma. Should have been dry hopped. |
