    What is an alternative malt for "Coopers Single Origin Ale Malt"?

I can't find any reference in Beersmith or BeerTools Pro. So, I am looking for a widely used malt that...

To achieve an ABV of 9.6% the monks add candi sugar to the brew up to 20% of the total amount of the fermentables. Over...

    Westmalle Tripel recipe is missing from the Recipe Database

    I want to replicate a Westmalle Tripel beer and I was hoping to find this recipe in the recipe Database of this website. However, that's not the case. There are no trappist beer recipes in the database at all. Could somebody suggest a recipe link that comes close to the real beer?

    Hi, I grew up with Belgian beers since my childhood and my favourite beer is a Westmalle Tripel. I found multiple recipes on the net to make this beer. There's many differences between the recipes but one thing in common is the use of Dingemans pilsner malt as a base malt. However, this malt...
