1.Bring 2 gal water to 160° put in the grains and hold temp to 150°-160° for 25mins. While the grains are steeping heat 1 gal of water to 160° in a separate pot. At the end of the steep put grain in a strainer and rinse with the heated water.
2.Take preboil gravity reading (_________) and bring it up to a boil
3.Add LME and bring back to boil at (this is time A____:____) add .5oz Centinnial.
4.At (A plus :30 ____:____) add .25oz Centinnial.
5.At (A plus :45 ____:____) add .25oz Centinnial.
6.At (A plus :47 ____:____) add .5oz Perle, 1t. of Irish Moss Corn and Candi sugars.
7.At (A plus :55 ____:____) add yeast nutrient.
8.At (A plus :60 ____:____) turn flame off and add in .5oz Perle.
9.Cool wort and add water to bring volume up to 5.5gal and temp to 70°. Take Gravity reading (B-______/O.G.-_______), pitch yeast (____:____) and aerate.
12oz bottle poured into a snifter at 43°. Color is a deep amber with a slight haze. Carbonation is good producing a thin tight head. Aroma is sweet with a little Belgian fruit. It has a medium body with a crisp mouth feel. Flavor is mildly sweet with Belgian yeast given some fruit and a hint of spice. After taste is clean with a touch of bitterness and a bit of the fruit hanging on. Overall it hits what I wanted, I may look onto a new yeast this seems to have lost a bit of the Belgian notes it gave in the first run (batch 33). I think I'll stick with this recipe for my Belgian Dubbel, maybe cut the corn sugar a little and bump up the malt.
