Belgian Recipes Please

[Swiller]

Does anyone have an extract recipe for something like
Duvel or a clone of Brewferm's Diablo please?
I would be eternally grateful.

Hey guys,

for a 23 L batch I would use

5.4 kg Pilsner (83%)
1.1kg Dextrose (17%)
Assuming 75% efficency
giving 1.069 SG, 1.005 FG, and 3.2 SRM

100g Styrian Golding (2.8% aa) FWH
40g Saaz (3%aa) 30min

Yeast: wyeast 1388 or white lab wlp570, recomded ptich temp 16-18c then rising to 26-29c for 4 days.

I would mash low 64 for a good amount of time.
Im not sure of the exact hop schedule but that should work ok.
Also, Im not sure on extract stuff maybe some one could convert it?

If your are really interested, check out the book Brew Like a Monk.

The recipe above should be something like Duvel - yeast strains and the fermentation are one of the most important factors here. Pitch big, control the temperatures well.

I would really appreciate an extract recipe or conversion of the above please.

Hey,
Ive not used extracts before but this is what I got from converting it in beer alchemy to an extract brew. The only problem is I dont know how well the extracts attenuate so I have made is a little heavier on the dextrose to try and get the dry finish.

3.5kg Pilsner liquid extract (guess you could use extra light? or lager extract?)
1.5kg Dextrose/brewing sugar
Use the same yeast and hops as above if you are doing a full volume boil, or is not make it up to 30IBU with golding as the bitter and saz as the later addition.
Hope this helps.

Brewing Classic Styles, p242 gives the following for a Belgian Golden Strong like Duvel (bear in mind this is for 23L post boil):

Pilsener LME, 8.4lb (73.7% w/w)
Cane sugar, 3.0lb (26.3% w/w)

Saaz 3.5% 90min, 2.25oz, 32 IBU

Yeast WLP570, Wyeast 1388. Pitch at 18C and rise to 28C over the course of a week. (It also gives T-58 as a dry option, but really, you need to go liquid to get it to work out right)

OG 1.072
FG 1.007
ABV 8.5%

Belgian Golden Strong like Duvel

Will that bad boy need cold conditioning? Sorry know nothing about Belgians

[coatesg]

It will need to condition for a while (few months) in the cool (cellar temps) - doesn't need lagering though.

You want it to be really well carbonated by the way.
