WARNING: Kettle losses > 2% detected which throw off OG calculation for extract/partial mash recipes in batch target 'fermentor' mode. Solution: Reduce kettle losses, misc losses and hops absorption in equipment profile, OR set batch target to 'kettle' and do a full wort boil. See batch target FAQ.

Notes

Steep grains @ 160 F for 30 minutes

Add 6 lbs. Williams Brewing M15 Belgian pale LME @ beginning of boil.

@ 20 minutes remaining in boil turn off propane burner and stop boil timer. Add 6 lbs. Williams Brewing M15 Belgian pale LME, 1 lb. Belgian candy syrup and 1 lb. Light DME. Return to boil and restart timer.

Lubliner (German) hops were all I had on hand the first time I made this recipe that seemed appropriate. Next time I'll use some more interesting hop varieties.

Williams M15 Liquid Malt Extract
90 % Belgian 2 row
10 % Belgian Wheat
