Notes

Chimay Blue stats (from Brew Like a Monk):

  • OG = 1.077
  • ABV = 9%
  • Apparent attenuation: 89%
  • SRM = 40 = WRONG (should actually be around 22)
  • IBU = 35



    ? Caramel 150 instead of dark candi sugar
  • also replaces the Special B
    ? if using Caramel 150 use dextrose to increase ABV and attenuation (dry)
  • ? use biscuit malt instead of melanoidin (Aromatic)

    Dark malt for colour adjustment
    CaraPils for head
    Pils as base
    Munich for biscuity-ness
  • may need to boost this, as don't want to mash Aromatic (like a super Munich, very biscuity) so consider using more Munich instead e.g. 15 - 20% Munich instead


    Have to mash melanoidin malt:
