Allgrain Stella Recipe

[dicko]

Hi Guys and Girls

Does anyone out there in cyberbrew land have an all grain recipe for a Stella Artois?
Or -
Would anyone like to offer any suggestions for ingredients, particularly malt and hops, for this beer?

Cheers

Grain Bill:
80% Pilsner Malt
10% Flaked Rice
7.5% Vienna
2.5% Carapills

No colour grain aditions here - This beer is impressively light

Hoping:
25 IBU's of a good noble hop
+ 2 plugs of Saaz 5 minutes from end of boil

Mash temp to achieve a dry finish FG ~ 1.008
Adjust pH of mash water to <5.5

Use a good Czech Pills yeast - Maybe WLP800 (its flavours are good but need a longer lagering IMO than the WY alternative)...

Aim for an OG of ~ 1.052. the extra % Alc makes it stella!

Asher for now

Thanks for the recipe Asher,

I had some thoughts along similar lines although did not consider flaked rice.
I will get some and give it a go.

Cheers,
