Notes

Fermentation is everything for Belgian beers! You have to use the correct yeast and get the fermentation temperature right, so temperature control is essential. Use White Labs WLP500-Trappist Ale (called Monastry Ale these days). Make a starter with the yeast; this will need a 2L starter. See : http://howtobrew.com/book/section-1/yeast/preparing-yeast-and-yeast-starters

Pitch yeast at 18°C and leave it for a day or two, then switch off the temp controller and let it rise by itself until it tops out at 26°C after a week or so. If you need to help it to reach that temperature then that’s OK too. You want the beer to ferment out pretty dry.

Bottle and then keep the beer at 24°C for a couple of weeks to carbonate and condition.
