Notes: Vorlouf just enough to get bits of grain out then take some of the first runnings (usually 1.5-2 gallons) to the stove-top and add in the 1/2 lb of Muscovado Sugar (use in lieu of brown sugar). Boil for 30 minutes, then turn down heat and simmer for another 30 minutes. Add back to run-off, then proceed with boil.
I'd do two-step yeast starters, one at 1.040, then another at 1.080 to get the yeast tolerant for the higher ABV before pitching in 1.14.
Be sure to use yeast nutrient... and oxygenate/stir well prior to pitching.
If you have extra yeast from the starter at 1.080, save it and add at bottling. CBC-1 at a rate of ~ 1.8 g per 5 gallons, properly rehydrated
Aim for 5.3-5.5 pH due to roasted malts adding acidity in mash that can lower pH.
May finish at 13' or 14'P (1.053-1.057)
BSG/Rahr for base
Simpsons for caramel/crystal
Primary fermentation done in 7-10 days, let it sit for 28-days.
Barrel-aged beers don't crash
Clean stouts get cold-crashed for 1-2 weeks for softer/rounder beer

Notes: Added a hop tea to the bottling bucket of 1oz Centennial, 1oz Idaho 7, and 1.5oz Mosaic. ~1lt of water @155F then left to cool with hops for about an hour. Strained and added to bottling bucket with priming sugar prior to syphoning fermenter.
Tasting notes -
OH wow that's way more bitter than I had intended. The hop tea tastes weird at first, but after ageing in the bottle for 2 weeks or so it tastes like brewery quality dry hopped beer. Huge hop punch. Doesn't taste as "freshly opened pellet bag" as just dry hopping though. The Idaho 7 completely overwhelms the other hop additions (which is good because I did want that for THIS batch) I'd stick with Centennial + Mosaic + Cascade/Citra/mandarina combo for the fruity kick this one is very piney and pithy, and I'd rank the IBU at more like 45-60.
Things I'd change-
Grain bill is perfect, but I think I'd keep all hop additions to no longer than 20min because the IBU is incredibly deceiving when using this many hops. I'd also probably back off of the Idaho 7 additions and swap it out for something more fruity like Citra or Galaxy. |

Notes: Fermentation is everything for Belgian beers! You have to use the correct yeast and get the fermentation temperature right, so temperature control is essential. Use White Labs WLP500-Trappist Ale (called Monastry Ale these days). Make a starter with the yeast; this will need a 2L starter. See : http://howtobrew.com/book/section-1/yeast/preparing-yeast-and-yeast-starters
Pitch yeast at 18°C and leave it for a day or two, then switch off the temp controller and let it rise by itself until it tops out at 26°C after a week or so. If you need to help it to reach that temperature then that’s OK too. You want the beer to ferment out pretty dry.
Bottle and then keep the beer at 24°C for a couple of weeks to carbonate and condition. |

Notes: Because of the relatively large proportion of spelt in this recipe, I typically do a cereal mash. The process is quite straight-forward for Brew in a Bag, but may require some modification for other mashing regimes. I'm still a little ambivalent about the best time to add the spelt porridge to the main mash. Some of my recent beers made with the process below have had lower head-retention than I'm used to, and I'm still trying to work out if that is from using a more modified pilsner malt, or from including the spelt porridge in the first protein rest.
Crush spelt separately to consistency of grits. For me, that means running it through my Corona mill twice on a fairly tight setting (too tight and the mill sticks).
Bring the spelt grits to a boil in a large saucepan with a few litres of water (subtract this from the volume of your main batch, or take it directly from the liquor in the main kettle). Keep at a boil, stirring to prevent scorching, until it forms a thick porridge: usually 15-20 minutes. This stage can be done prior to brew day, with the cooled spelt porridge stored in the fridge till required. [NB: I often throw in a handful of crushed pilsner malt as well (yes, a handful, I don't measure it). I think the enzymes convert some of the sugars as mix passes through the conversion temperatures on its way to a boil. Sometimes I'll let it rest for ten minutes at around 150°F first.]
Heat main mash liquor and dough in with grist and spelt porridge, aiming for an initial temperature of 131F. You may need to break up the spelt porridge with your hands if you stored it before use. Keep at this temperature for around 15-20 minutes. [Optional step: you can also include an earlier rest at around 113F. This may aid with lautering and possibly increase phenolics from any brettanomyces strains.]
Raise mash to around 145F. Keep at this temperature for 40-50 minutes.
Raise mash to around 154F. Keep at this temperature for 20 minutes.
Raise to 168F. Mash out and lauter. Top-up with water to reach your desired pre-boil volume. Proceed with boil. |
