The last few times i've been to the bottlo i've been tasting a few belgian beers. I bought some abbey ale II yeast a week ago and i'd like to have a crack at making one. My favourite belgian is Leffe Radieuse however i prefer my beers to be a little less alcoholic. The first time i had it i nicked into the bottlo for a roadie and thought i'd try it. Quickly found out that 8.2% beer is not great as roadies.
So has anyone had a crack at a midstrength belgian?
I was thinking of doing something simple like this
23L
3kg pale ale (or vienna)
1kg munich II
.1kg dark crystal
OG 1039
saaz to 18 ibus @ 60
Wyeast abbey ale II
If a low alcohol belgian is not a possibilty i'll make up a clone recipe that i found and bottle it for long term aging.
