Belgian Dark Strong Ale (Westvleteren 12 Attempt)

[@JoseGuillen422]

Hey man! just saw your tasting video. glad it all came out good! I need to try your recipe sometime soon. Hope to see you come by the shop someday soon. cheers

[@weirding_123]

Westvleteren yeast is extreme, they use the same yeast as Westmalle but open fermentation at greater temps. Every beer I have made with it (wyeast 3787) I have left loads of headspace in the fermenter and still needed a blow off tube attached until fermentation ended, but the beers turned out great.

When did you do the last gravity reading, before or after adding sugersolution for carbonation? If after, wouldnt this explain the higher reading?

[@HopsANDgnarly]

Thing went nuts! I feel for that stout sitting next to it in the splash zone lol

[@MinnesotaFats]

Great vid! Been drinking Orval lately, which has renewed my interest in Belgian styles

[@maltmode]

I haven't had that beer in ages. I would love to try it again!

Well deserved hops and barley video after leg day. This is good

[@atribecalledjudah5436]

That’s the home brew store I frequent. They are awesome!!!

[@jessevanvoorhis384]

Traditional Belgian open fermentation. lol love the vid. Cheers

I have a pretty similar quad recipe. The other things Ill use is a bit of 20L Munich malt and a small (very) bit of coffee malt. For fun, try some cherry juice in a future recipe too. That goes really well with the plum and dark fruit flavors of D-180 Candi syrup.

When r u going to do another little homebrew competition??? Been a while on those.

[@ScullyBrewing]

Didnt you add sugar before taking the FG reading?

[@maltmode]

No...

[@Bumalar]

Really curious how this turns put, i am from belgium and a westvleteren 12 is one of the best beers in my opinion and a hard one to nail 100%... looking forward to the follow up video🍻🍻

[@ChrisP978]

I thought it was over-hyped until I got to try it. Nope, it really is that good.

[@Javaman92]

Okay, I thought before I gave up on this channel I would see if your new videos had wild volume swings in it. Seems so. Probably no one else in the world has others around who might be bothered by sudden noises later in the night, but that's my life. lol

[@maltmode]

Interesting. I use Premiere Pro and make sure my volume never reaches higher than a certain level. I will have to investigate more!

[@Javaman92]

@@maltmode I think it was the big difference between your talking and music or something.

[@Javaman92]

@@maltmode Yes, that is what I was experiencing. Thanks for your consideration of this matter. I will have to check back in the future. :-)

[@mihailb8280]
