Belgian Abbey Dubbel 5 Gallon Beer Recipe Kit

The Belgian Abbey Dubbel is a classic Trappist-inspired ale known for depth and complexity. Dark Belgian candi sugar and specialty malts create flavors of raisin, fig, caramel, and dark fruit, layered over a smooth malt backbone.

Belgian ale yeast contributes subtle spicy and fruity esters, giving the beer a warm, rounded character and a dry, balanced finish.

This 5-gallon recipe kit includes all the ingredients needed to brew Belgian Abbey Dubbel at home:

• 7.5 lb Dry Malt Extract
• Golding (Bittering) Hop Packet
• Saaz (Flavoring) Hop Packet
• Steeping Grains
• Belgian Candi Sugar
• Yeast Packet
• Grain Steeping Bag

Note: Brewing equipment is not included. This kit is designed for brewers who already own a 5-gallon brewing setup.

Brewing your Belgian Abbey Dubbel follows a traditional Belgian ale brewing process:

• Brew: Steep specialty grains, boil the wort, and add hops according to the recipe
• Ferment: Ferment with Belgian yeast to develop rich malt character and classic ester profile
• Enjoy: Ready to drink in about 6 weeks

Allowing adequate fermentation and conditioning time helps the dark fruit flavors and gentle spice fully develop.

This recipe kit is ideal for:

• Brewers with 5-gallon brewing equipment
