Our Belgian Dark ale is modeled after such beers as Westvleteren 12 (yellow cap) and Rochefort 10. The recipe includes over 10 lbs of malt extract and one pound of sugar. Belgian specialty grains impart the unique malt profile. This is a big, bold beer that deserves some cellar aging.
The kit includes malt syrup, dry malt, corn sugar, steeping grains, steeping sock, pellet hops, dry Belgian yeast (safbrew T-58), priming sugar, Whirlfloc tablet, and instructions. It requires a 35-45 minute boil. Makes 5 US Gallons. If you prefer to use liquid yeast we recommend Wyeast #1762 or #1214 Ale. Belgian Abbey yeast. Statistics are Est OG 1.099, SRM 22, IBU'S 32. Potential Alcohol 9.9 ABV.
