Brewing in Anvil 5.5 gal kettle.

-Hops & spices added to a hops bag to lessen the trub.
-Add 4 oz maltodextrin during last 10 minutes of boil with remaining hops & spices.

-Add Flavorings (Vanilla extract) prior to adding yeast for primary fermentation.

-Primary fermentation in the kettle or 3 Gallon BrewDemon for 14 days.

Optional: Rack to secondary fermenter for 14 days to add spices and to clear a bit. Racking should stir up those lazy yeasties.

For this batch I will use Mangrove Jack - Belgian Ale Yeast M41 (This yeast emulates the intensity and complexity of some of the best monastic breweries in Belgium, with spicy and phenolic tones. The high attenuation and alcohol tolerance of this strain allows you to brew a huge range of Belgian beers. Suitable for Belgian Strong Golden and Belgian Strong Dark Ales.)
