Hello,
I was thinking about doing a smash brew for a Belgian Tripel, but would like to get feedback on whether or not a beer this big could fit a smash recipe. Personally, I don't see why not. Here's the recipe idea I was kicking around:
23L/6 gal
6.5 kg/14 lbs. of Belgian Pilsner (Base grain, not changing this)
1 kg/2.2 lbs brown sugar (this is for color so the beer retains a little)
30 grams/1 oz. of Simcoe for 60 minutes (probably changing this as well)
- I won't be dry-hopping.
Single infusion mash at 152F/67C
Safale t-58 (this will probably change to some yet to be determined White Labs Belgian Blend)
90 minute boil
Projected OG to be about 1.080
Projected FG to be about 1.020
Thoughts, feelings, suggestions? This is purely a hypothetical at this point, but I feel like it's a fun experiment.
