Fleur de Lish

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.
