Brewing Notes

We made this recipe based on recipes for a dubbel from Jamil and Stan Heironymous.

The key to a great ferment is lots of yeast and keeping the temperature around 64F initially, then ramping it up at the end of the week to 70 F. This reduces phenols in the final beer, but leaves that really nice fruit character produced by this yeast. Raising the temperature at the end ensures that this beer attenuates properly.
