Planning on doing this brew next week and I had a few questions about the recipe...
It states that the OG should be 1.088, however after checking all the ingredients in a calculator it looks like it should come in at 1.080 tops, I was wondering if I was missing anything? I'd really like to hit the stated OG but it looks like I might need to bump up some of my fermentables.
Other than that I was wondering how long I really should let this sit in the secondary fermenter, I have seen a few conflicting reports for this style.
Any other tips or tricks for this style beer or to the recipe I plan on following is appreciated!
MONK'S BREATH ABBEY ALE
5 gallons, extract/specialty grains
Ingredients:
6 lbs. Liberty light malt extract
3 lbs. Liberty light dry malt
1 lb. De Wolf-Cosyns Belgian pale malt
0.5 lb. Briess victory malt
1 lb. clear Belgian candi sugar
2 oz. Czech Saaz leaf hops (2.6% alpha acid), 1 oz. for 60 min., 0.5 oz. for 5 min., 0.5 oz. at end of boil
Wyeast 3787 (Belgian Trappist high-gravity yeast)
OG = 1.088
FG = 1.018-1.022
