Hello people,

Cheers Brocky

No help from the BN hey ?
Who's the brewer ? Some of them have information on their web such as OG and IBU's, might be a start

LOL your quick phillip i was just about too use that link.

One of the websites i went said "Similar in style to Duvel, Judas is slightly drier in the finish, but retains the characteristic full flavour of a golden ale"

So the link phillip gave is probably spot on too what you want

I would of thought the main thing is the yeast in this beer too get it right, see if you can get another bottle of it and reculture the yeast from it.

Cheers
DJ

The thing is; you haven't really provided much information in order for anyone to help you out.

What was the ale? Was it Duvel? Here is a recipe for a belgian golden strong (style created by Michael Jackson after tasting Duvel) which comes from 'brew like a monk'.

I haven't brewed it myself so I can't vouch but the backing qualifications are much higher than mine.

Malt:

80% Pilsner
2-5% wheat
2-5% munich
5-20% candi sugar or dextrose.

Hops:
30% Styrian goldings@90
35% Stryrian Goldings@30
35% saaz @f/o

Mash at 66-67, ferment between 19 and 24.

Yeast: 1214 (wyeast) or 500(whitelabs)

According to the same reference the real duvel is just pilsner malt and dextrose - no munich, no wheat.

Sorry, haven't tried it.

Judging by the title I think it was Judas

Oh too late, you already saw that...

 

[manticle]

Seen it and admitted stupidity.

Hopefully the recipe is still of some use.

How different is Judas from duvel?

 

[brocky_555]

not sure haven't tasted the two side by side but duvel is very nice also.

Thanks for the help much appreciated

Shoot for a duvel clone, if you cant get it attenuated very well, it might be similar to Judas

Had one the other night at the Belgian Beer Cafe and it is pretty similar to Duvel.
