I came across the following recipe on homebrewtalk.com (surprise, surprise. man does that place rule) Its an extract recipe of a gold medal beer from the '06 World Beer Championships. It's a very straight forward recipe with rave reviews. I know this won't increase our skill or technique, but its a tasty trippel that is ready to drink in 30 days!! Without further adieu here is the recipe:
Extract:
3 x 3.3lbs Pilsner Light malt extract LME
1 x 1lbs Amber DME
1 x 1.5lbs Belgian Candy
12.4 total pounds of fermentables
Hops: (IBU came out at 23 but you can range from 20 to 25)
2 oz. German Hallertau 3.8%AA 60min
1 oz.Styrian Goldings 3.4% AA 30min
1 oz. Saaz 2.8% AA 3min
Yeast:2 x WLP500 Trappist Ale Yeast
Notice it uses 2 vials of yeast. This guy is no noob!! I was thinking of possibly brewing this up quickly over the weekend. Or we could wait until we move the pale ale to the secondary(which really shouldn't be too far off).
The only thing I would add to this is some coriander and possibly the zest of an orange or two.
Thoughts?

The pale is almost done fermenting. We could possibly move it to the secondary/bottle it if we don't want to rack it on Sunday. It's down to some very light bubbling out the airlock now.
ReplyDeleteI'll put this into Beersmith and see what it thinks about the alcohol, etc. You should wait for the crew!
yeah from what i've read a week should be plenty for fermentation on a low gravity beer. don't want to rush it and possibly ruin it either. I guess we'll just have to see on sunday. i'm down to wait until the carboy is free.

You do love your Corriander and Orange Zest :)
ReplyDeleteIs the TC LME as good a quality as the stuff in Asheville?
ReplyDeletehave no idea on that one
ReplyDeleteI think TC just has the cans, like the can that came in the kit (same brand...Muntons www.muntons.com ?). The Asheville brand was Briess (www.brewingwithbriess.com).
