The much-vaunted Westvleteren 12 has been an object of desire for a good many brewers and beer lovers. Rumors abound that the recipe for the beer is blindingly simple. The fermentables are supposedly just Pilsner malt and Belgian candi syrup, a byproduct of the sugar making process that wasn’t available to US brewers until recently. Now several folks import the stuff from Belgium, and some are even making it here in the States, so take this as an opportunity to explore their different properties.
For 5.5 gallons at 1.096, 32 IBUs, 3.8 SRM, 9.3% ABV, 90-minute boil

NOTES
Add the syrup late to the boil, with 10–15 minutes remaining. It will allow for better hop utilization. Alternately you can add the syrup to the ferment as opposed to the boil. You’ll need a large amount of yeast, so consider making a starter beer. (In fact, try the variant below.) And for the love of all that’s holy, pitch and start this beer in the low 60°sF and let it rise to fermentation in the higher 60°sF. A beer with this much oomph is asking for fusel alcohols and headaches if you let it ferment hotter.
VARIANT
The Singular Half: Cut all the ingredients in half and ferment away for a not-quite Single or Double. The yeast can be used to ferment the Quad. |

Notes:
90 mins mash due to the unmalted wheat - (Doing 60 min with spaghetti)
Overcooking the spaghetti(100% durumwheat), and adding it to the mash together with the water it has cooked in.
Pitching Amalgamation starter at 17-18C, letting it rise to 20C.
Bottled after about 6 weeks.
Made 2L yeast starter out of an 3 weeks expired TYB Amalgamation vial. Aluminium on top, and minimum spin on the stir plate for a semi-aerobic prop. I let it go for 6 days on the plate, then let it get 3 days standing still. The starter smelt really fruity. (The plan was originally to decant some of the starter wort. I think I maximum decanted 0.5L off in fear of loosing healthy cells, which I probably did)
Slightly longer primary fermentation in general (3-6 weeks). Perceived bitterness may be quite a bit lower than the same wort fermented with a clean ale yeast.

Notes: -not sure how to measure sugar contribution of pre-sweetened coconut, so won't really be sure of efficiency; going to just not consider it.
-April 2017 version came in at OG = 1.022 (need to check). Not sure why under-attenuated per expectation here, but that's consistent with past batches. Thus ABV = 5.8.
-Mouth feel (of April batch) is creamy and delicious, perfect as far as what I wanted.
-Bitterness is too high (still April batch), going to adjust next year) |
