This recipe comes from the October 2013 issue of Brew Your Own Magazine. Due to the inevitably copious hop matter that this beer will produce, shoot for 5.5 gallons in your primary fermenter. In light of this, and the increased yeast pitching rate, ensure you have adequate space in your fermenter and/or are using a blow-off tube during primary. The head-brewer at The Alchemist advises strict attention to technique and water for this recipe. The white, finely carbonated head of this pale golden ale carries aromas of pale malt and spices. This strong beer is full-bodied, malty, and full of Belgian complexities in both aroma and flavor.
Our kits provide a tried-and-true recipe, ingredients, and brief directions for making 5 gallons of great beer.
