Notes

90 minute boil. Chill to 18C and pitch yeast. Ramp primary 5 days up to 23C. Ready in 4 weeks. Best after 6 weeks. Store very cool (< 10C) if storing longer than 2 months. (Belgian Pale’s are not a long term storage ale). Modified from recipe at Candi Syrup http://www.candisyrup.com/uploads/6/0/3/5/6035776/leffe_blonde_-_040.pdf
