Hi guys,
Got a satchel of this and would like to do another great Belgian ?
Have just done the forbidden fruit clone and looking for another Idea for a Belgian.
Yes I should search... but lazy and in a hurry.
All ideas welcome
Thanks for your time guys

Just used the same yeast for a blackberry beer as listed in the topic blackberry beer and I have two more samples of same yeast I plan to make either a Orval clone or a De Koninck are you looking for AG or extract receipes?

Have a qick search for "Chimay" as ther's a very easy clone to be found. Might be wortha go even if the recipe states to use a recultured yeast. I haven't tried mine yet, it's under the house for at least three months hoping it'll be good for this winter.

Thanks guys for the hints...tried a home brewed trappist ale at a party...couldnt get the recipe off the guy. about 7 or 8% id guessed... a nice butterscotch taste to it.... candy sugar ?
Was looking along the lines of this... but a Chimay is a awesome belgian... so might go along those lines.
Biermeister.. would love to know about your Orval clone..pls keep posted
Thanks again

Made it - it's fantastic even after 1 month.

Mikey,

Just the encouragement I need, I'll brew anotherie this weekend. It's a perfect time for me to be doing all my strong ales as I'm off the gas until Easter.

I'm trying to build up enough stock of strong, matured ales that I never run out!!!
