Notes: This is my third attempt at a Leffe clone and I think I now more or less nailed it. My aim was to get the flavour and mouthfeel of a Leffe combined with the higher ABV of a Duvel.
This beer has the same taste and flavour of the Leffe but has a fuller mouthfeel while at te same time being slightly less sweet, but not as bitter as a Duvel.
I feel the coriander and lemon peel (both added at the boil for 60 min) offset the breadiness of the Biscuit malt without being too noticeable and the rolled oats gives it a full mouthfeel as well as good head retention.
I actually used the Safale BE-134 from the previous batch I made. Yeast was washed and stored in fridge for about 4 days. Made a starter with 2 liter LME at 1.040 the day before brew day.
I brew this as BIAB with a small (18 liter) kettle. The LME is added after the boil.
Because of my minimal equipment I brew in 2 batches with half the grain bill each. The first batch is left to cool in a sealed keg while the second batch is brewed. The whole brew is then left to cool overnight in the keg.
Went from 1.071 to 1.010 in 6 days and then took another 5 days to reach final 1.008.
Pitched at 20 deg and then went gradually up to 26 deg.
On day 12 I moved it off the yeast to 2nd fermentation and added some gelatin at the last 2 days before bottling.
