Notes: ferment in the mid 60s if you want, higher temp will lead to banana esters and create a more banana bread weisen, but...i actually think the time i made this with the pale chocolate it was with the 380...more apricot notes. it was fantastic. fermented in the high 60s.

Notes: This recipe makes a Biere de Garde that is distinctly malt forward, with a pleasant malt sweetness up front. It finishes dry with a lingering touch of malt sweetness. The finishing gravity will likely be lower than listed above; likely closer to 1.012 - .010. So the final ABV will be in the 8.0% range.
The 300 grams of dextrose is reserved for adding during active fermentation. Add once the kreusen has begun to fall. Likely around day 3 or 4. This will help to achieve the necessary finishing dryness characteristic of this style.
Ferment at 19 and slowly raise temp to 21 C until final gravity is reached. Make sure to give this beer at least 2 weeks in primary, and condition the beer at cellar temps for a minimum of three months, though longer is better as this beer continues to mature and develop for many months.
If you want a slightly more balanced beer reduce or eliminate the Caravienne malt, and up the bittering hops to achieve an IBU of 32 or so.
Quebecoise malt is a malt unique to the province of Quebec. Replace with Belgian Pale malt.
This beer won a Bronze medal in the Belgian Ale category at the 2015 Half Pints Pro Am in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. A BJCP sanctioned brewing competition. |

| Notes: Much of the beer's unique flavor does come from Special B which gives a nice caramelized fruit character to the brew and the lactose helps keep the mouthfeel thick even with the brown sugar which, through fermentation, could potentially add dryness to the beer. Other malts we use in it include crystal 40L and english brown malt. I think one key ingredient that we use though is the yeast. We have two "house" yeast here, 01 Cali yeast and 28 scottish yeast and we use the later on cold crash. 28 adds a nice subtle ester and slight musky character to the beer and I think it helps complement the other notes from the specialty malts and adjuncts. Our hops don't play a huge character in the brew but if you are dying to know what they are, it's bittered with CTZ and has Palisade later on but they really are there mostly for balancing. |

Notes:
OG = 1.050
FG = 1.010
ABV = 5.25%
Nose is slightly sweet, pleasant yeasty aroma, no discernible hop aroma,
color is "reddish" amber with slight brown overtones, froth is light beige to white with good retention, some legs remaining as is drank.
Taste is of moderate to light carbonation, slightly sweet malty backbone with very light caramel overtones with rich taste, good body, very smooth with lingering bitterness that is well balanced to its overall taste.
In my opinion, somewhere between a Newcastle Brown Ale and Karl Strauss Red Trolley Ale as an example.
Temperature is key here, as is using a starter. Used two litters of ambient water to package of liquid yeast. Added 1/4 cup honey as "food" but not enough to start fermentation. Allowed to sit in dark for 24/36 hours before added to wort. I attribute the starter technique to the "attenuation" being 79%
During fermentation, never got above 66 F and averaged 64-66 F during the first seven days. Secondary/conditioning allowed to rise to 68 F for the remaining seven days prior to cold crashing and filtering into kegs. Allowed to rest an additional seven days prior to drinking
I use a water bath to control temperature and glass carboy. Fermentation started in under 12 hours which was robust and had to change overflow bottle twice.
As is always maintained is meticulous sterile/clean procedure.
