Brady's Grande Belgian - Extract
Belgian Dark Strong Ale • Extract • 5 gal
This beer starts with the aroma of fruits and spices. It has a very full mouthfeel and many complex flavors, including light roasted malt, alcohol, dried fruit and spices. The finish is long and spicy with slight hints of pepper and nutmeg. Since Belgian yeast strains are more tolerant of heat, and the beers they produce need to be matured longer than most other beers, this is the perfect beer to brew in the summer to enjoy during the long cold winter that is on its way!

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
Heat 3 gallons of water to 150 degrees, then remove from heat. Pour in malt extracts and candi sugar, stirring to completely dissolve before returning pot to heat. Heat wort to boiling, add hops per schedule. Add crushed Grains of Paradise with final hop addition. Total boil time is 60 minutes. After boil, cool wort as quickly as possible. When wort is under 80 degrees, pitch yeast. Ferment in primary for one week, then transfer to secondary for 2 - 3 weeks. Ideal fermentation temperature is between 68 - 78 degrees. When done fermenting, prime with 1 1/4 cups light dry malt extract and bottle. Condition in the bottle for at least one month. This beer will get better if allowed to age.
