Hi
Thought I might give away another recipe that I will be brewing soon. Firstly its a single infusion mash so I have added a little Melanoidin malt to make it feel like a decoction. Some Caraaroma for malt aroma and a little wheat for head retention.

The style has spice aroma so I have added Williamette and Spalter hops as part of the addition. The 6 tea bags at the end will add what you guys and girls will have to find out when you use them. Last 15 minutes for the tea bags.

Treating this beer as a Lager, fermenting at 12C for 2 weeks, lager at 2C for 4 weeks.

Hey Ray,

You are really keen on the Chamomile tea bags :p
Using them in your Saison and the Bier de Garde.

Beers,
Doc
 
Yes Doc
Its a taste you and others need to try, it makes the beer nice and dry as well as adding a little spice. I first found out about them on beertools.com.
Been adding them in some kits I have been doing latley just to get the true flavour out
Cheers

Sounds nice. :beerbang: Would be a good recipe to employ a little bit of kettle caramelization and maybe some Vienna malt as well.

Most BDGs I've tasted have hints of caramel in the flavour.
