Belgian-Style Dubbel

MAKES APPROX. 2 GALLONS OF BEER IN ABOUT 4 WEEKS TIME.
Suggested minimum conditioning time is 2 to 4 weeks.

Deeply rooted in the Belgian brewing tradition, Belgian-style dubbels are one of the oldest continually produced Trappist beer styles around. At their core, dubbels are malt-forward beers, displaying rich caramel and bready malts, with hints of raisin or plum. Trappist yeast strains provide depth, fruitiness and subtle spicy characteristics.

Mr.Beer's Dubbel stays true to the style's roots. It is made from pilsner, Munich and dark crystal malts with a light touch of New Zealand-grown hops for balance. This beer is light on the palate, but rich in malty, fruity and spicy flavors -- it shows just how well yeast and malt can work together in your fermenter. As with our previous Belgian-style seasonal, this brew would work well with a cup of brown sugar (or perhaps maple syrup) to lighten the body and boost the ABV.

REFILL INCLUDES:
1 Can Belgian-Style Dubbel HME
1 Packet Safbrew T-58 Dry Ale Yeast
1 Packet No-Rinse Cleanser

INGREDIENTS: MALTED TWO ROW BARLEY, WATER, HOPS AND YEAST.

Seasonal recipes contain more malt than our premium refills and produce a stronger than average all-malt beer (about 6.5% ABV). Each HME comes in a large single can 3.75 lb (1.7 kg) and will produce 8 quarts of beer. No adjuncts needed.

Step 2: Brewing
2.1. Fill keg with cold water to the 4-quart mark on the back.

2.3. Using a sanitized measuring cup, place 4 cups of water into a clean 3-quart pot.

2.4. Bring water to a boil and remove from heat. Stir HME into pot (this mixture is called the wort).

NOTE: HOPS MAY APPEAR AS GREEN LEAF PARTICLES AND WILL NOT DISSOLVE.

2.5. Pour wort into keg. Bring the volume of the keg to the 8.5-quart mark by adding more cold water. Stir vigorously to mix well.

2.6. Sprinkle yeast pack into keg and ALLOW TO SIT FOR 5 MINUTES. Stir vigorously again, then screw on lid.

2.7. Place keg out of direct sunlight, in a location with a consistent temperature (between 59°-75°F)

ALLOW TO SIT A MINIMUM OF 14 DAYS.

CAUTION: DO NOT OPEN BREW KEG LID AT ANY TIME DURING FERMENTATION; THIS CAN CAUSE BEER SPOILAGE.
