Beamer’s Base Hit – Trappist Single Recipe (Category 26A)

On Episode 25: Trappist Single Tasting, we had Jerry and Mike M as guests, and both of them brought their homebrewed examples of this style (Category 26A). Both of these fine gentlemen were nice enough to share their recipes, however Jerry was out of town for a little bit, so there was a small delay in getting the recipe. Good things come to those who wait, and this is no exception. Jerry’s recipe is below. (You can find Mike M’s recipe here)
