Stella Artois Clone

Post by akr71 » Mon Dec 13, 2010 11:08 pm

This was what I came up with (the 2 clone recipes I found on the Interwebs are in the following posts). I sort of blended the 2 recipes and made adjustments to the hop additions, based on what I had on hand. I originally had 4 hop additions ( 60, 30, 5, 0) but scrapped the 30 & 5 in favor of a 10 minute addition. At the last minute I realized I only had 3 hop socks on hand.

I'm using Kolsch yeast for 2 reasons. 1) I never got a around to ordering the Danish Lager yeast and 2) I'm lazy (my basement is currently at 56F and the yeast is very happy).

ALL GRAIN
Stella Artois Clone - don't remember the source...

"Stella pretty much admits to using corn & rice in the grist on their website so I threw some in this recipe. I have no idea what the hops and yeast are but this might yield a brew that is close. My opinion of Stella is not as low as some others. It is what it is but I can always taste the Belgian malt in the beer. I listed the Danish lager yeast. It is my default lager yeast for non-Bavarian and non-Czech beers."
