Notes: .5 oz = 1 tbs
add the spicy thyme at end of boil along with the molasses
columbus for a hint of citrus, simcoe for the piney-hopefully the thyme plays off these flavors, bravo for bittering for its fruity and floral aromas, and falconer's flight for aroma
add 2 handfuls for 2 gallons of toasted pecans at 5 min left in the boil
Higher temp, say 160, will give a somewhat sweeter richer body beer.

Notes: 10lbs extract + 2 -2 1\2lbs mixed grains. Going for a medium\strong balanced flavor. Malt forward brown IPA.
I guessed with hops on the last batch and hit a whopping 133 ibus at 3.5abv. Yikes (: talk about a hoppy session beer. |

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. |
