Notes

I looked at several recipes and I did not want to add dextrose or candy sugar to this. I also am going to use my Belgian Abbey Style Ale yeast rather than a Trappist Yeast which most of them use. I am also going to use some of the hops I have on hand, rather than using the ones listed in the recipes I found online. I will go for the same target IBU/HBUs. Original IBU was 60.58 with a 90 minute boil and using Amarillo, Saaz and Simcoe hops. If I change the 90 minute boil hops to 60, the IBU drops to 57.74.

For the 3 boiling hops, the AAUs for 60 minutes is 13.7. 38 grams of my Rakau gives me 13.8 AAUs at 60 minutes. The recipe also called for 42.5 g Saaz at 10 minutes (AAUs 5.2) and 42.5 g Simcoe at 5 minutes (AAUs 19) and 28.35 g Amarillo at Flameout (13 AAUs). I will do 14 g at 10 minutes (5.1 AAU), 52 g at 5 minutes (18.9 AAU) and 36 g at flameout (13.1 AAU). For dry hopping the original recipe used 28.35 g of Amarillo (13% AA - 13 AAU), 28.35 g of Saaz (3.5% AA – 3.5 AAU), and 28.35 g Simcoe (12.7% AA – 12.7 AAU) for a total of 29.2 AAU. I will use 80 g of Rakau for 29.1 AAU. My overall IBU is 57.72 which is real close to the original recipe. That is a total of 220 grams or 7.83 ounces. I have 8 ounces of hops and will use them all which is 226.7 grams. I will add the 6.7 grams the dry hop which doesn’t change the overall IBU. It took the AAU from 29.1 to 31.2.
