Olde Spare Tyre
Belgian Pale Ale • All Grain • 5 gal
If you like New Belgian's Fat Tire, you are gonna love this beer. The bisquit flavor is a little more mellow, but the Maris Otter malt gives a wonderfully unique malt profile, which compliments the mild, Noble hop flavor and Belgian yeast characteristics. This is one beer you will want to try - several times!

Pilsner style malted barley grain.

Maris Otter Pale
Maris Otter Pale
An English thoroughbred and a favored choice of malt for many brewers. Simpsons' Maris Otter has a rich and nutty flavor and despite its small, berry size has a strong husk. This malt delivers predictable brewhouse performance with modest, yet consistent extracts. Brewers can expect good runoffs with clear wort.

White Labs WLP550 Belgian Ale
White Labs WLP550 Belgian Ale
Saisons, Belgian Ales, Belgian Reds, Belgian Browns, and White beers are just a few of the classic Belgian beer styles that can be created with this yeast strain. Phenolic and spicy flavors dominate the profile, with less fruitiness then WLP500.
Notes
I use a two step infusion mash, starting at 104 for 30 minutes, raising the temperature to 149 for 60 minutes. Hops are added per the schedule during the boil (I usually add the Spalt hops as a first wort hop during the sparge as it seems to give better hop flavor and a smoother bitterness). Ferment at 68 to 72 degrees for 7 days, then rack into a secondary for 7 days, then bottle with 1 1/4 cups light dry malt extract. Condition for two weeks, then enjoy.
