My wife and I welcomed our newborn twins into the world 10 days ago, and in a delirious state of lack of sleep combined with a Founders' Breakfast Stout, it is time to formulate a celebratory brew.
Talking to a fellow homebrewer who lives in my condo building, a Belgian Dubbel was suggested as the obvious goto style (instead of Delirium Tremens, think Delirium Twinens).
So, time to gather recipe ideas. Below is the recipe that I just came up with for the above stated style. What ideas/thoughts/changes do people have? I have never brewed a Belgian Dubbel before so I am open to suggestions and straight up criticism if need be.
5.75 lbs of 2-row (non-negotiable amount due to girl's birth weight)
5.4 lbs of Belgian Munich (again, non-negotiable due to boy's birth weight)
1 lb Belgian Biscuit
.5 lbs Belgian Aromatic
.5 lbs Belgian CaraMunich 40
.5 lbs Special B
.25 lbs Dark Candi Sugar
Mash at 152
1 oz Styrian Goldings (60 min)
1 oz Czech Saaz (30 min)
Wyeast 3522 Belgian Ardennes yeast
