Batch No. 14: Wicked Monk

Yes, that is Rasputin. He was the most wicked monk I could think of.

Formula: Wicked Monk recipe: 2x Witty Monk Witbier HME, 1 can Pale Export UME, Saaz Pellet Hops
Brew Date: May 6, 2011
ferment time: 21 days
Bottle Date: May 27, 2011
conditioning time: 5 weeks
Open Date: July 1, 2011
This is a stronger version of the Witty Monk witbier to which I added honey to make the Drones Club beer for my third batch.

This is supposed to be a pretty amazing Belgian white beer. The reviews on the Mr. Beer site give it 5 stars, and several people have said it's the best brew they've made. With all of those ingredients (3 cans of malt extract), I'm giving it an extra week (5 weeks total) of conditioning. It should be ready to try in about a month.
I'm curiously excited.

I'm also working on a neat label, playing on the 'wicked monk' theme.
