Belgian Pale (copper red!) ale

[barkar]

I was hoping to do this to replicate a belgian ale , It looks more complex than it is i have included aropmatic and biscuit malt because actually i will be using abbey malt (not on the recipe maker) which from what i gather is a mix of these 2 , so i am going to use 1/2 kg each which transalates to 1kg of abbey. I also have caramunich 2 which maybe add to more color than caramunich as also this wasnt on the beer calculator

I was hoping to add cascade at the end or 10m,in do you thin it would take away or add anything to it.
How woudl all the malts work i think it true to style malty and sweet with biscuit aromas

A Belgian ale that's under 9%? Surely some mistake :lol: :lol:

- that's not a dig at your recipe by the way!! Last time I remember Belgian beers being discussed on here I recall a few people pointing out that they really struggled to find beers in pubs in Belgium that were under 9% :lol:

I think the combo of special B and carmunich could be quite cloying. I used caramunich in a Oktoberfest and found it really noticeable, just depends how much sweetness you want in the finished beer. I think the 10 min Goldings and Cascade would not be in keeping with a Belgian style, not to say it won't be good, La Chouffre Belgian IPA is awsome, T
