3am Belgian Ale
Belgian Pale Ale • All Grain • 10 gal
I just brewed this late last night, hence the name of the beer. Drunk and tired but it should be worth it as always! The key to a late night brew is a couple shots of Absinthe!!!! I also added 1lb of Belgian Pale Ale malt and 1 lb crystal 10*L. I will post again when i try this brew>

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.
