Hey all. I'm going to brew a three gallon Belgian blond to grow enough yeast for a serious Duvel clone. I want it to be dry with some depth of malt and character, but low gravity. Don't have a clue about hops, but I'm tired of EKG. I tend to prefer simple recipes, but I've heard more malts are necessary for a tasty session beer, so I'm going with three specialty malts.
Comments or ideas welcome:
Here's the base recipe as of now:
1.041 OG
4 lbs pilsner
4 oz CaraMunich
2 oz White Wheat
2 oz Biscuit Malt
Hops:
60 minute addition of "to be determined" (I have a couple oz of Mt. Hood pellets... thinking about just using these)
15 minute (small addition of maybe Mt. Hood again?)
Yeast WLP 570
Mash at 152 for 60 min, 90 min boil, etc. etc.
