Merry Christmas to all of you!
I am planning to make a Belgian Pale Ale beer recipe and something like a clone of the De Koninck PA beer.
I have found the clone recipe in the book "Brewing Better Beer" (page203) but i think i had to modify it a bit and use only Belgian Dingemans malt.
Here is the recipe:
5 gallon batch
Grains
1) Dingemans Pilsen (2.7 EBC) ---> 2.2kg (50.6%)
2) Dingemans Pale ale (9.0EBC) ---> 1kg (23%)
3) Dingemans Aromatic (50EBC) ---> 0.5kg (11.5%)
4) Dingemans Caravienne (50EBC) ---> 0.35kg (8%)
5) Dingemans Biscuit (55EBC) ---> 0.30kg (6.9%)
Hops
1) Saaz (3.75%) 30gr 60min
2) Saaz (3.75%) 16gr 15min
3) Saaz (3.75%) 16gr 5min
Yeast
WLP570 Belgian Golden Ale
Combination of fruitiness and phenolic characters dominate the profile.
Some sulfur which will dissapate following fermentation.
Estimated OG: 1.050
Bitterness: 19.1 IBU
Color: 18.5 EBC
5.2% ABV
I want to achieve a malty character with some fruitiness as well. Fruitiness will not be strong, that's why i decided to use the WLP570 strain.
Any recommendations or thoughts?
Thanks!

Re: De Koninck BPA AG recipe
Brewing like a Monk: 1.048 (12P), 5% abv, ibu 24, pale and Vienna malts, Saaz hops. Water is very soft.
How about using a yeast strain from Antwerpen where the beer comes from, WLP515?

Ι was to use the WLP515 yeast originally, but unfortunately it's not available on themaltmiller.co.uk where i buy my ingredients.DeGarre wrote:Brewing like a Monk: 1.048 (12P), 5% abv, ibu 24, pale and Vienna malts, Saaz hops. Water is very soft.

The recipe looks fine, what I would change is to have 2/3 of hops for 60 mins, 1/3 for 15-10 mins aroma and get the ibus north of 20. Good luck and pls post the tasting notes later - I like bolleke a lot.

Re: De Koninck BPA AG recipe
I'd go with the pale ale malt at 73.6% and skip the pilsen. I'd also increase the IBUs.Theo wrote: Grains
