Notes

https://www.homebrewersassociation.org/homebrew-recipe/beer-recipe-of-the-week-orpheo-roja/

Use soft brewing water, acidified slightly if possible.

Mash grains for 60 minutes at 154°F (67°C). Follow boil schedule.
Ferment at 68°F (20°C), transfer, and condition in a secondary vessel for several days before bottling.

Bottle prime with the usual 0.75 cups (177 mL) dextrose, or corn sugar, per 5 gallon batch.

Chimay has a slightly higher level of carbonation than usual with the style of beer, so feel free to add a few extra teaspoons of priming sugar. It is also recommended to bottle in heavey-gauge, 750 mL bottles if possible (especially with the high level of carbonation). Standard beer bottles should be fine, but regular wine bottles won’t cut it.

When enjoying, pour into a goblet at around 50°F (10°C)
