Notes

Add belgian candi syrup before the boil, taking kettle off heat.

Secret Ingredient #1: I chose Belgian Candi 40L in recipe to meet style SRM requirements (it's all my LHBS had). For a second batch I plan to try 80L or Darker.

Secret Ingredient #2 Yeast: I usually go with dry yeast. they're more affordable for small batch. Liquid seems to be proper for this style though. Safbrew BE-256 Abbaye was no less expensive than a good liquid yeast but I figured I could use the pack for 2 small batches.

If scaling to a larger batch I would try Wyeast 1214
Belgian Abbey Style Ale, Wyeast 3787 Trappist High Gravity yeast (Westmalle) or Wyeast 1762 Belgian Abbey Style Ale II (Rochefort).

Yeast Temps: Style suggests starting an abbey yeast at 64f up to 68f for 48hrs to minimize fusels. At 2/3 sugar break move it to 74-78f. The yeasts could increase to these temps on its own also. This is something I will attempt by moving out of my basement to warmer rooms at about 1.046 gravity or sooner.

Optional: Because this is a high gravity recipe I made a Yeast starter using 6g of GoFerm and 5g yeast. I have this on hand for Mead making.

Lower steep/mash temp (148) should get you a lower dryer gravity

Take note of higher priming sugar. Style suggests higher volume.

Bottle condition recommendations are longer. Minimum 6 weeks, but better at 2 months.

Other notes:
The wheat is added for mouth feel and head retention.

Any NOBLE HOP could be used: Halltertau, Saaz, Hersbrucker, Styrian Golding, Willamette, East Kent Golding

Other malts to consider Biscuit and Aromatic.
