Notes

Yeast WLP 530 Abbey Ale or Wyeast 3787 High Gravity Trappist
(Substitutes: WLP 570 Belgian Golden Ale or Wyeast 1388 Belgian Strong)

I am reserving some of the candi syrup to make more room for specialty malt character.

Use some of the remaining Candi Syrup in the starter, along with brown sugar and DME, to come to match the starting gravity. Be careful to match an SRM < 17 to stay within dubbel guidelines.

Bananas can be sliced lengthwise and added to fermentation... keep big enough to be able to remove later. Raisins should be added to fermentation as well.

Add Homemade Banana Foster's Liqueur after primary... not sure how much... will taste and see how "banana-y" it is...


3/7/20 Racked to kegs.
FG 1.016 - On-Target
MUCH dryer than expected. Almost no banana presence.
Apparently Abbey 530 has a alcohol tolerance of 10-15%, so it
blew through all fermentables.
Clear - Nice Carmel Color
Added 500ml Banana Fosters Liqueur.

  • 158g/5gal Belgian Candi Syrup D-90L
  • 2.5g/5gal potassium metabisulfite (75ppm)
    (not adding potassium sorbate, since the beer has a bit of a sour taste and i'm not sure if it's an indication of ML conversion... which would result in geranium off-flavor/smell if K-sorbate is added)
    I should have stabilized first, or chosen a different yeast.
    It has been cold in kegs for the night, so I will stabilize now and hope that's enough to prevent renewed fermentation. I may need to backsweeten further with belgian candi syrup.

    Beer tastes better after sweetening. Hopefully sulfite levels are sufficient to prevent renewed fermentation (and low enough to not be perceivable)

    Also, bananas float. Keep in mind for next time!
