Notes

Recipe is here: file:///Users/degrave/Downloads/westmalle_dubbelclone-_040.pdf

Mashed at 145 - 146 instead of 147 as I entered the incorrect mash water volume in the strike water temperature calculation.

I bought Wyeast 3787 on brew day and made the starter right when the mash started.

I accidentally got double the Styrian Goldings instead of double the Saaz, so I added some Styrian Goldings at the 60 min mark.

Recipe calls for Belgian Vienna, but the homebrew store only had German.

I didn't use mroost 1400, but used Quirky Homebrew's Dingeman's Belgian chocolate malt, which I think is mroost 900.

OG was measured at 1.070. I added the extra drained wort from the strained grain bag to the fermentor (about three cups), as well as a 1L starter.

Fermented the beer for two days at 64 F ambient and five days at 68 F ambient. Beer was racked to serving keg, and 15 beers were bottled.

Next time use the Chimay water profile.

First Attempt
This beer is very good. After 3 - 4 weeks in the bottle, the banana flavors/smells have mellowed some, and a dark fruit character is starting to develop a little bit.
