ANYONE HAVE A CLONE RECIPE FOR CHIMAY WHITES

[majorvices]

I do not have a recipe but the WY1214 is supposedly from Chimay.

Candisyrup has one on their site.

Don't know of a good Cinc Cents clone, but a Westmalle type recipe using WY1214 (Chimay) makes a really nice tripel - I've done it a few times.   OG 1075-1080,  35 IBU, just Belgian Pils with 15-20% cane sugar.  Mash 146F / 90 minutes, pitch 1214 @ 62F, ferment at 64F for 72 hours, then slowly ramp up to low 70s until FG.

Thanks I am in the process on making a grand reserve and  a Westmalle type triple . I will check these out.

WY1214 is a real PITA to get to clear. And you better ferment on the cool side or it can throw a ton of banana ester (Isoamyl acetate). I find to minimize the isoamyl acetate you need to pitch no warmer than 64 degrees and aim for a higher pitch rate.

Four and a half years ago I did a take on Wheeler and Protz's recipe for Chimay White.  My brewhouse efficiency has improved a lot since then, but here is my session recipe from then.  I believe their recipe called for amber malt where I used brown malt, but they are very similar.

This beer turned out great.

BLAM says that at the monastery, ferment is started at 68F and rises to 81-82F.  I was happy using WLP500 from 64 slowly up to 70 by third day of ferment, seeing that optimum range is 65 - 72F for WLP 500 per White Labs.  I remember that I really liked the contribution of esters with some fruitiness done this way with that yeast.
