Today I put up Listermann's Belgian Abby Ale. If it matters here's the recipe:
Note the LME was just listed as Canadian extract, but I assume it is pale.
Ingredients
Amount Item Type % or IBU
6 lbs Pale Liquid Extract (8.0 SRM) Extract 66.7 %
1 lbs Caramunich Malt (56.0 SRM) Grain 11.1 %
1 lbs Vienna Malt (3.5 SRM) Grain 11.1 %
1.75 oz Hallertauer [4.80%] (60 min) Hops 31.0 IBU
0.50 oz Goldings, East Kent [5.00%] (0 min) Hops -
1.00 items Whirlfloc Tablet (Boil 15.0 min) Misc
1 lbs Corn Sugar (Dextrose) (0.0 SRM) Sugar 11.1 %
1 Pkgs Abbey Ale (White Labs #WLP530) Yeast-Ale
I have heard a lot about this kit and want to get everything out of it I can. I've never had this style before. The grain was cracked way too fine and his bags are very course and I have a lot of loose matter in the beer. I cannot cold crash. I was going to do a two stage fermentation to help things settle out. I know to plan about ten days in primary, but how long in the secondary, both for taste and settling? OG was 1.049 and color was lighter than beersmith projection by a bunch. But est OG was only .001 higher. It is currently setting at 67 and falling waiting for the magic of fermentation to begin.
