Notes

Based on supposed Leffe clone recipes found on internet.

Actual gravity measurements:
OG = 1.061
TG = 1.011

Primary 10 days b/w 68-70F
Secondary 7 days at 65F
Yield = 304 oz (12x 12oz + 10x 16 oz bottles)

Turned out great! A wee bit more bitter than Leffe, but pretty close overall and one of my favorite batches I've made. The yeast-imparted flavors were wonderful!
