Hey everyone!
I was hoping I could get a critique of my proposed Duvel clone recipe.
Pitch WY1388 at 65, primary ferment until activity slows way down. Then add 1.5 lbs of corn sugar, and 1 lb. of table sugar. Finish the secondary fermentation at around 65-75, trying to maintain a steady increase in temperature the entire course of fermentation. Rack to a secondary, and toss it in my fridge for 2 weeks (45 F). Take it back out for a week at 65. Bottle at 4 volumes of CO2. Cold condition in bottles for 2-3 weeks, and see how it turns out.
I'm relatively new (This will be my 11th brew) and I'm all ears. I have an 8-gal kettle and am stuck with extract + grains right now.
I've done a fair amount of google searching for a recipe, and they are vary wildly, so this is my take on it. Again, very open to suggestion.
