Notes

Chimay Clone, but I am using different hops and a different yeast then what was in the recipe I found. Regarding my hops and IBUs. According to Brewers Friend, Tettnanger are 4.5% aa and Cascade are 7% aa. I adjusted it down to 6% aa for the Cascade. I had one pound of Blonde Cascade Beer Candi Syrup that I used in place of the 1 pound of Belgian Candy Sugar. I did change the recipe to 5 gallons in fermenter from 5.5 after I already did my water calculation as I plan to add fruit post fermentation, and I need room for it in the keg. No cost for yeast as I used the yeast from batch 112. I ended up not adding the blackberries to this, and for now, am just keeping it a Belgian Dubbel. I removed Blackberry from the name later on.
