ha ha ...yea i did have the same thought lol

looks promising not sure about the adding sugar though any thoughts ??

 

[robsan77]

That looks good. I am guessing that because leffe is such a strong beer it needs adding sugar, but maybe this can be replaced with spray malt???

 

[leedsbrew]

the sugar is there to up the ABV but also help to keep the body of the beer palatable without it being cloying. I'd stick with sugar! :thumb:

I brew at least one Belgian style ale a year, trust me it needs the sugar :thumb:

I have to admit that it was reading one of the brewing threads on Overclockers that got me looking into home brewing. :lol:

Silly as it sounds, I've copy pasted a brewday post onto a renewable energy forum...
Its a good way to bring people into the light (over to the dark side)

I was going to try this as my next Leffe-ish ale. Whitelabs Trappist yeast.
