General Info

Diving into a dubbel after almost two years not making one. Researching like heck - this recipe is based upon one I found in Brew Like a Monk.

Special Procedures

Pitch yeast at 64°F - increase fermentation temperature 1 degree every day until 70°F (about a week). Hold there until fermentation completes.
