The recipe for this beer is below. It is inspired by Uniboue Don De Dieu (oops, see note 1). I found some what of a clone HERE which I used as a base with a few changes. Most notably, I changed the yeast and I used cane sugar. The yeast I went to is the one from Duvel Brewery which is a classic golden strong.

My plan is to brew it and let it sit in primary for 6-8 weeks (at least 2-3 if not more in the chamber). I will then bottle and condition for another 6-8 weeks. I plan to ferment around 68.

Note 1: I_wanted_to do a Don De Dieu clone but I this recipe clones La Fin Du Monde. Oh well, itshouldn't matter. That is also a good beer.

I actually took these on the computer while I was going.

This was my new way to squeeze out the bag Orange zest Hop, sugar, spice, etc additions

Fermented at 68F until March 7th (I think). Then cold crashed at 1*C until2014-04-24

2014-04-24 Bottling:

The final beer tasted rather awefull. I do not know if it is doomed or if it just need more time given the high alcohol. The taste wasn't of the harsh alcohols but rather maybe a bit cidery (could be from the sugar). I guess we'll wait and see but I do not have high hopes
