Notes

This is my take on Westvleteren Blond. It uses their yeast, grist and temperature schedule(for fermentation), but different hops. If you've read multiple of my recipes you may have realized that I am in love with Ultra hops. They are a Saaz and Hallertau hybrid. My two favorite hops to begin with. A blend of those would work fine if you can't find them at the LHBS or you could used your own favorite and make it your own beer! To increase grassyness in accordance with the original beer I use them for bittering as well as aroma and add the sugar to the start of my boil to lower hop utilization so that more hops can be used while contributing less bitterness. First wort hop and boil for 90 minutes or more. Moon Hooch is a great band and the beer is named after them.
