Plan was to culture yeast from a bottle of DT but it was unsuccessful so I decided to use Duvel yeast instead.
Found a DT clone recipe and based my own around that. Here's what I came up with:
Typhon
16-E Belgian Specialty Ale
Date: 04/09/2010
Size: 24.0 L
Efficiency: 80.0%
Attenuation: 93.0%
Original Gravity: 1.080 (1.026 - 1.120)
Terminal Gravity: 1.006 (0.995 - 1.035)
Color: 7.28 (1.0 - 50.0)
Alcohol: 9.79% (2.5% - 14.5%)
Bitterness: 26.6 (0.0 - 100.0)
Ingredients:
6.5 kg Belgian Pale
100 g Torrified Wheat
1.0 kg White Table Sugar (Sucrose)
35 g Bobek (4.5%) - added during boil, boiled 90 min
20 g Saaz (3.5%) - added during boil, boiled 90 min
20 g Saaz (3.5%) - added during boil, boiled 10 min

The ingredients:
Heating up the Strike Water:
Adding Strike Water to Mash Tun:
Mashing in:
Fly Sparging:
Collecting the Sweet Wort:
The Boil:
Crushing the Coriander:
Crash Cooling:
Fermenting at 21.6c at the minute. I reckon this will reach around 26c on its own. Will then crank the heat up to around 30c to ensure a complete fermentation.
Will update here too of course as this brew unfolds. Very excited about this one!!
