Boil: | 60 minutes | SG 1.082 | 6.0 gallons | |||||
1 lb. 8 oz. Belgian candi sugar | ||||||||
I use 12oz of Belgian clear candi syrup @ 10 minutes. I use 4oz @ bottling. | ||||||||
Hops: | 1 oz. Hallertauer Hersbrucker (5% AA, 60 min.) 1 oz. Hallertauer Hersbrucker (5% AA, 30 min.) 1 oz. Hallertauer Hersbrucker (5% AA, 15 min.) 1 oz. Hallertauer Hersbrucker (5% AA, 5 min.) 1 oz. Hallertauer Hersbrucker (aroma) |

Yeast: | Wyeast 1388 Belgian Strong Ale (x2) I use a starter for both initial and 1st rack pitches. |
|||||||
Carbonation: | 2.4 volumes |
Keg: 13.7 psi @ 45°F Corn Sugar: 3.99 oz. for 5 gallons @ 70°F |

I use 4oz of Belgian clear candi syrup - not corn sugar. | ||||||||
Tasting: | Tastes very similar to Duvel but with a bigger alcohol punch. The use of American, British, Belgian, and German malts adds complexity that is absent in a straight Belgian grain bill. |
