    So I had a Ommegang Cooperstown Ale on Sunday and I'm hooked. I ned to make one for mid to late summer. I figure I can take adavantage of higher fermentation temps too.

    Any one have a good all grain Belgian Pale recipe?

    Rare Vos Clone:

    10 lbs Pilsner (84.2%)
    11 oz Caravienne(5.8)
    8 oz Aromatic (4.2)
    6 oz Special B (3.2)
    Bitter with EKG (1 oz @75min), finish with 1 oz EKG @ 1 min
    0.5 oz of orange peel and 0.25 oz of Grains of Paradise @ 5 min, 0.30 oz of corriander @ FO
    Mash @ 148 for 30 mins, step to 155 for 25 mins
    Ommengang yeast starting at 77F, let it rise.
    Water: Ca-60, Mg-9, Na-19, SO4-83, HCO3-41 (Beerse profile in Beersmith)
    Est OG: 1.058, Est FG: 1.007 ABV: 6.7% SRM: 11 IBU: 22

    Ommegang calls this a Belgian Amber Ale, if feeling frisky you can DH with an ounce of EKG or ???. I've found their yeast fairly easy to harvest, usually from their Witte.

    60/20/20, Belgian Pils, Vienna, wheat malt.
    1.050 OG
    25 IBU of your favorite noble hop.
    WLP 530 or your favorite Belgian strain.

    That's about as simple as it gets. This is good with some brett and/or dry hopping too.

    I agree on keeping as simple as possible. I would do 85% pils or pale, 15%wheat and just a little noble hops. The yeast should really be the prominent flavor.

    Finally getting around to it.

    Ging to brew this on Sunday:

    5.5# Maris Otter
    5.5# German Pale
    .5# Cara-45
    .25 Special B
    .25 Biscuit

    1.25 oz EKG's @ 60 min
    1.75 oz EKG's @ 5 min

    Going to use Mangrove Jack M27 Belgian Yeast.

    Anyone have experience with it? Says optimal temps of 75-90!

    Wow.

    There is a thread on Mangrove Jack yeast. MrOH had this to say

    I consider the lack of Strisselspalt hop recommendations within this thread to be an unfortunate oversight. :rolling_eyes:

    So far, this yeast is a beast. Pitched on Sunday at 12:20 and it was bubbling away by 3:30. I've never had a batch take off that quick.

    It has been rocking steady at 85 degree since then.

    Should I bring the temperature down once it looks like active primary fermentation has finished or let it ride until I decide to keg?
