Hey guys!
We're planning to brew the 'Very Good Abbey Ale' from Brew Better Beer this weekend, but we have some doubts with the grains we bought for this recipe.
Firstly, we have the Weyermann Abbey Malt (EBC 50) from TMM which we are not sure if is the Pilsner malt required by the recipe. The description of the Abbey malt in the TMM website mentions that the recommended rate is up to 50%, while the recipe asks for a 78%
The same happens with the second malt in the recipe, a 22% of CaraMunich malt. We bought the Weyermann CaraMunich Type 2 (EBC 120), which the TMM recommends to use at a rate of 5-10% for dark beers and 1-5% for lighter beers.
The yeast we have for this recipe is LALBREW Abbaye (dried)
Would you recommend us to go with these grains as in the recipe, or to try something else?
This will be our 3rd brew, BIAB no sparge, ~8 litre bottled batch, and our first Belgian ale. We are trying to learn the basics before start experimenting, so if with our ingredients we won't get a 'regular' Belgian ale, we will put it on hold until we get the correct ingredients or other recipe.
We also have Maris Otter and Crystal Extra Light 100 malts at home if needed.
Cheers
