Notes

Modified for 5 gal. From the Easter Quad recipe by Michael Tonsmeire in AHA.
Make a 1.5 L yeast starter with White Labs WLP530 Abbey Ale or Wyeast Trappist High Gravity 3787 using a stir plate.
Saccharification Rest: 60 minutes at 152°F (67°C).

Batch sparged with 180°F (82°C). Collect 9 gallons of 1.092 runnings including 1 lbs of table sugar added to the boil, plus 1 gallon of final runnings (boiled separately on the stove).



Chill to 63°F (17°C), 60 seconds of oxygen. Pitch the starter. Leave at 63°F (17°C) to ferment. Warm to 70°F (21°C) after 3 days.
Add Cinnamon Sticks after Primary Fermentation


When fermentation is complete, package as desired aiming for 2.4 vol of CO2.

Dough-in cold at approx. 70 F with 24 qt H20
Slowly raise temp to 148 F and rest 75 minutes
Mashout 170 F for 10 minutes
No sparge NO SPARGE
