I was going to upload the .bsm file but it's not an allowed extension, I guess. Fix us up, Flanny.

It would use the one base malt that I have none of, great.

Thanks for posting I do want to brew this one up soon though, good session beer for the winter time.

What is sweet gale?

[ohiobrewtus]

... and yes - I only boiled this for 60 minutes vs. the standard 90 minutes that I almost always do with a strong pils base.

[Evan!]

Where do you find sweet gale?

And why didn't I get one of these? I've had 2 of your tafelbiers by no patersbier.

[ohiobrewtus]

My quasi-LHBS has it, and I think that AHS does too.

I'm pretty sure that all 10g were still in secondary when I sent you your last shipment of beers. Either that or I sent you two Tafelbiers by mistake. Or you had the Patersbier and I mislabeled the cap.

[Evan!]

Nah, I'd have known if it was a spiced beer. Hey, what's ST, I forgot.

ST is my Sticke Alt. Man that beer is from a WHILE AGO. Was that in your most recent shipment from me or the one before?

[ohiobrewtus]

Nah, I'd have known if it was a spiced beer. Hey, what's ST, I forgot.

You would have known by the color for sure - Tafelbier is about 3 SRM and the Patersbier is like 17 SRM.

The spice is really pretty subtle in this beer. Like Flan just said in chat, it could almost be perceived as a bit of tartness and the cinnamon helps to balance it out.

Uhhhahhhhuhhhhnnnnn!!!.....

Sorry, just creamed in my pants after finally having some of this Belgian Single.

Measured OG was 1.041 and FG was 1.008. First week was 65F then let it go up to 76-78F in the house. Still took 4 weeks of fermenting even for a small beer. So it missed my O'fest party, which is a good thing because I get all to myself. Just the right amount of Belgian hints of phenols & cinnamon and quite a few light fruits - pear, guava, maybe citrus, plus some honey, without overdoing on any. Now onto my BSGA with the yeast, which is washed and sitting in the fridge ready to go.

[Beezy]

How long in the primary/secondary? I have not messed with Belgians yet...

[christo]

I did my typical Belgian ferment on mine, going 65F for the first several days and then letting it ramp up to 72-75F for remainder of primary. Since this was a small beer, I went straight from primary to keg after 4 weeks or so. Most of my bigger Belgians get extended secondary aging.

[Beezy]

How does this look. Tried to scale it down for my set up.

I didn't leave off the spices intentionally but I think I actually will leave them off since they didn't spice these traditionally.

[ohiobrewtus]

You'll be quite pleased with the results if you include the spices.

[Beezy]

Hmm well I will decide when I reach the LHBS. I have a buddy telling me no don't do it it's not traditional to add the spices but you guys have tried the final product so yeah. I have to hops in hand tho. Propane tank refilled almost ready.
