Belgian Dubbel can be a tricky style to master, but this recipe from Mark Pasquinelli makes it attainable for any brewer!
Expect a very drinkable, malt-forward dubbel with a slightly sweet finish. Keeping the fermentation temperature in the 68-70° F (20-21° C) range will help develop fruity yeast-derived notes without the fusel alcohol character.
Dubious Dubbel was originally featured in Pasquinelli’s article “Extract Revisited” (Zymurgy magazine, January/February 2012).
