Flanders Red Ale | 5 Gallon Beer Recipe Kit | All-Grain

    Description

    • Deep red in color with a nice malt structure and distinct sour overtones. Requires a two-step fermentation process 
    • Includes Magnum and British Kent Goldings hops
    • Estimated ABV: 6%
    • Estimated IBUs: 16-18
    • Makes 5 gallons of finished beer

    Our Flander's Red recipe creates a beer that is deep red in color with a nice malt structure, this beer is based on those from certain regions of Belgium, and have distinct sour overtones to them. This is due to the wild spores that inhabit the air - and some breweries - of the area. While this would normally be a "bad" thing, the infection lends special tart and sour qualities unlike any other beer can. For a more traditional spin on this kit, try aging it on some oak cubes!

    We recommend fermenting this beer with WLP001 California Ale for two weeks. Then add Wyeast 3763 Roeselare Belgian Sour Blend in the secondary fermenter bucket. This kit does require some special instructions, as it is a special beer. Once the gravity hits 1.015 - 1.020, rack the beer into a plastic bucket and pitch the sour blend tube. Age the beer at 65F-70F for 6 months, until the white cap that will form drops. The reason for the plastic bucket aging is so that tiny amounts of oxygen are allowed to be taken in by the plastic and come in contact with the beer. This micro-oxidation adds to the over all flavor of the beer itself.

    Reminder: you will need to keep the equipment used to handle the beer after the sour blend is introduced separated from the rest of your brewing equipment, or clean and sanitize very well after use.

    • Makes 5 gallons
    • Estimated Original Gravity: 1.062-66
    • SRM (Color Range): 16-18
    • IBUs: 18-22
    • Estimated Alcohol Percentage: 6%

        Flanders F***ing Red!

        Fantastic kit! Admittedly, I should've let it sit longer, but I was impatient after 6 1/2 months. Just the right amount of sour with prevalent funk and finishes with a nice, subtle malt characteristic. I did add some American oak spirals, medium toast, and let them hang out in the fermenter until bottling day. Flanders Red is one of my favorite beer styles, and this certainly gets high marks. This beer looked like a f***ed up science project while fermenting, but the Roselare was just doing its thing. Don't fear the pellicle!??

        Great sour....

        brewed in late 2013 and bottled in 03/2015.... mashed high at 154, pitched 2 smack packs of Rosalare and fermented at 65 for 6 weeks and raised to ambient temps and added 5 lbs Oregon cherries to primary (glass) and chunk of Consecration oak. Occasionally tossed dregs of sours over the year. Beer came out tart with no acetic acid. I'm really happy with it and it was relatively easy. I will definitely brew again and toss on old yeast cake.
