Ingredients (All Grain5.5 gal)

  • 10 lbs Pilsen Malt; Dingemans

    Pilsen Malt; Dingemans

    Light in color and low in protein, Dingemans Pilsen is produced from the finest European two-row barley. This malt is well modified and can easily be mashed with a single-temperature infusion.

  • 1 lbs Munich Malt; Dingemans

    Munich Malt; Dingemans

    Dingemans Munich malt undergoes higher kilning temperatures than pale malt. The resulting malt will lend a full, malty flavor and aroma, and an orange-amber color. This malt can make up to 100% of the grain bill, but low diastatic power makes this malt unsuitable for use with adjuncts.

  • 2.5 lbs Candi Sugar Clear

    Candi Sugar Clear

    Smooth taste, good head retention, sweet aroma and high gravity without being apparent. Use in Belgian and holiday ales. Use clear for tripels, amber for dubbels, and dark is used in brown beer and strong golden ales.

  • 1 oz Czech Saaz - 5.0 AA% pellets; boiled 60 min

    Czech Saaz

    Very mild. 'Noble'.

  • White Labs WLP500 Trappist Ale

    White Labs WLP500 Trappist Ale

    From one of the six Trappist breweries remaining in the world, this yeast produces the distinctive fruitiness and plum characteristics. Excellent yeast for high gravity beers, Belgian ales, dubbels and trippels.

Notes

Yeast is actually Lallemand Abbaye, dried version of WLP500. Candi syrup is Light candi syrup from CSI.
