Belgian Inspired
Here's a quick recipe for a clear all grain Belgian Inspired Ale. My equipment includes a 40 quart brew/lauder pot with a bazooka screen and stainless steel valve. I first strike 3 gallons to 174° in a 4 Gallon brew pot and add to mash in bazooka boil/lauder pot, then add another 3 gallons of strike temp water to it. To simplify add room temp water to boiling water till its cooled to 174°, typically 2 Gallons at 212° mixed with ~1 gallon room temp ~75° water. Allow mash to rest (lauder) for 2 hours. Drain off wort to other containers, clean out spent mash and return wort to bazooka boil/lauder pot. Cover and bring the wort to a boil and hold until protein break, put on those gloves and safety glasses on! Toss in the hops at the end of the boil with Irish moss then cool with coil chiller down to 80°. Pour through a 400# mesh funnel and screen to keep the solids out of the fermenter into twin carboys each half way full for foam head space. Pitch the yeast at 75°s. Siphon off to secondary carboy after two weeks. Wait another 45 days, confirm FG and rack to keg.
