Belgian Dubbel • All Grain • 5.5 gal
Abbey Dubble-Color not as dark as calculator indicates. Came out a deep amber color. I pitched a washed yeast from a prior fermentation and had rocky head within 3 hours of pitching. Fermented warm as this yeast strain has a nice balance of esters, spice and alcohol warmth when fermented around 75 degrees in my opinion.
