Notes

Directions: (from the original 5.5 gal recipe)

*Note on the Original Gravity: 1.059 (14.5° P) with kettle addition of sugar, 1.066 (16.25° P) with primary addition of sugar, 1.070 (17° P) with priming sugar. Using reverse osmosis water treated with 1 gram calcium sulfate per gallon (0.26 g/liter), mash grains at 147° F (64° C) for 60 minutes. Raise to 151° F (66° C) and hold another 30 minutes. Mash out at 168° F (76° C) for 10 minutes. Collect wort and boil for 60 minutes, adding 1 lb. dextrose to kettle for 15 minutes before knockout. Chill to 64° F (18° C) and oxygenate wort. Pitch active yeast starter. A day after high kräusen is reached (usually 3 to 4 days from pitching) add 12 oz (340 g) dextrose to just enough water to dissolve. Boil the solution 10 minutes, cool briefly and add it directly to primary. Allow primary temperature to rise from 64° F to 78°F (26° C), applying heat if necessary. When final gravity is reached, usually after about 8 days, add (or rack onto) gelatin fining solution and crash to 32° F (0° C). Hold at this temperature for 21 days. Rack clear beer and blend thoroughly with a solution of 8 oz (227 g) dextrose and a dose of fresh yeast (an active starter of the Belgian Golden strain, or properly rehydrated Champagne dry yeast). Bottle in sturdy brown bottles. Keep bottles at 75° F (24° C) for two weeks to allow for carbonation. Chill a bottle and verify carbonation has reached around 4 volumes. If this is the case, cold-store remaining bottles for six weeks at 40° F (4° C) to allow beer to smooth out and mellow.
