First class Brewing Project done with Extract recipe created by students on February 17,2018 as part of the Into to Brewing class, in the Brewing Sciences program at Trociare College in Williamsville,NY under direction of Dr. Brian Barrow PhD.
The class developed a recipe on the spot with what a set DME base, and a table full of other steepable specialty grains and hops. After they picked a style directions the class worked together on deciding what grains would give them the desired adjunct characters they were looking for and determined how much to use in a matter of minutes also pairing the hops that would best accent the beer in bittering and aroma. Dr. Barrows then informed them that they were going to split that beer in the end into 2 batches and pitch a different WhiteLabs Yeast in each (WLP001 &WLP530), along with the late addition of Belgian Candy syrup D-180 to the fermentor containing the WLP530 Abbey Yeast. To show how two beers with the same base can be affected with simple additions and simply changing the yeast. This is the first of hopefully many beers this class does together at Trocaire College in the Brewing Sciences Department.
