AABGBdG – Briess Copper Malt Biere de Garde

This the recipe page for the biere de garde I brewed for an AABG Brewola event. We met on April 13th, 2018 to compare beers, you can read about that here.

I’m fermented it all clean with WLP029, and then kegged half and put the other half in a carboy with Bootleg Biology’s Funk Weapon 3. I opted to start the fermentation out at 58F and kept it there about 5 days despite White Labs’ recommendation to keep it warmer. It worked very well at 58F, hitting 79% attenuation.
