RECIPES

The recipes below are clones trialed here at CSI in order to test our current and new products. These trial ales are essential to the quality standards for which our products are known. These receipes are offered as-is and freely. Please feel free to share freely in return. We enjoy your feedback so if you have an innovative idea please feel free to let us know. Due to varying degrees of equipment efficiency and methods outside of our testing, we can say that these recipes have done well using our own test equipment, (15 gal stainless conicals, stainless 40 gal MLT, stainless 40 gal HERMS HLT).

*** Unprecedented growth has created delays in our brew trials. Thank you for your patience while we expand operations. ***

2022 PIPELINE

[released 5/5/2022!] Taras Boulba

*Brew trial in progress

Taras Boulba NEW 2022!
This unique Saison has a light mouthfeel, pours a luxurious white head, is subtle and fruity on front palate followed by a mild toasted bready finish. It is deeply refreshing and a perfect low ABV Belgian ale paired with a mid-day meal.

We struggled with the yeast selection on this exquisite ale from Brasserie de la Senne. Wyeast finally provided the closest we have found to a comparable match. As always we encourage anyone brewing any of our clones to purchase a few bottles of the original to sample and compare.
Enjoy!

2022 PIPELINE[released 5/5/2022!] Taras Boulba

*Brew trial in progress

Grand Cru cloneFor many years we assumed the most difficult ale in the world to brew was also the best internationally rated ale. By far Het Anker's Grande Cru is the most advanced ale we have trialed to date. It is well worth the reward of perfecting it. (Advanced brewers only)

Saxo Blond clone A citrusy and faintly sweet golden blond. An easy to brew and refreshing blond Belgian.

Westmalle Extra clone A frothy, pillowy, faintly fruity Belgian pale. Considered by many to be one of the best Pale's in Belgium! For a dry bitter you would not expect this to finish with candi sugar and sweet pear, but it does!

La Trappe Blond A crisp, faintly fruity, faintly sweet and malty blond Belgian. Great for Spring brewing.

De Koninck Blonde clone This is a moderately hoppy Blonde by Belgian standards but very balanced. With a slight finish of candi sugar and fruit it is an exceptional example of a Belgian Blonde

St. Feuillien Tripel cloneA crisp and nicely balanced medium bitter tripel with a faint Candi sugar sweetness.

Bink Tripel clone (Brouwerij Kerkom) A medium to heavy bodied and sweet-hoppy tripel. A tripel that challenges the boundary of the style category and delights the pallet. A work of art.

Saison Dupont clone A fully attenuated, dry, complex Belgian Saison. Fruity, spicy and light. This Saison takes a great deal of its flavor profile from primary fermentation and the unique Saison yeast.

De Koninck Pale A mysterious Pale giving the appearance of a golden ale and the aroma of a tripel, the De Koninck Pale finishes with a slightly sweet and almost Sauvignon Blanc-like pallet.

Cuvée Des Jacobins Rouge clone This Flanders Red Ale is definitive for the style. Balsamic, fruity, aromatic. We were happy with this first trial and will be improving it with time through blending and variations in casking/cellar conditioning. This is a challenge for experienced brewers.

Nostradamus clone (Brasserie Caracole)A rare Belgian specialty ale. Light reddish to pale brown with a lacey tan head. Has an indescribable combination of candi sugar, spice, malt and aromatic bread.

Chimay Doree (Gold) This is the golden pater fare permitted the monks at Chimay. It is a lower alcohol orange citrusy dry pale ale with a slight caramel finish. A joy to brew and share among friends.

Chimay Tripel (Blanc) cloneChimay white is unique in it's use of wheat and candi sugar. This is a dry ale with a medium mouth-feel, citrusy palate, and candi sugar finish. A very complex tripel.

Chimay Grande Reserve (Blue) clone This is the famous once seasonal-only Chimay Grande Reserve. It is a subtle, near-perfect balance of spice, fruit, and malt with mild hop undertones. From our very first clone to our most recent this ale is extraordinary.

Chimay Blue

Chimay Premiere (Red) clone A subtle dry Trappist style ale with hints of spice and a back palate of caramelized banana.

La Trappe Dubbel cloneIn a continuous effort to apply our syrups to the best Belgian Ales we test each year. This recipe was composed to test the combined flavors of D-180 and D-90 to test the rich nature of our syrups with the La Trappe Dubbel.

La Trappe Tripel cloneThe La Trappe Tripel finishes comparatively sweet with candi sugar and hops on the pallet long after the ale is gone. An exceptional variation on the style.

Westmalle Tripel cloneLikely the finest, (and simplest), tripel clone published. A perfectly balanced, medium dry, effervescent, and mildly malty ale with subtle hints of fresh fruit and a lupulin back-palate all in a subtle fruit finish. A near perfect example of the tripel style.

Munich DunkelThis Dunkel is a creamy, rich, malty ale with a medium body and subtle caramel malt finish.

Munich MaiBockA light malty version of a Bock generally brewed in late Autumn or early Winter. This lager uses much less Munich malt but for a lager it is complex and flavorful. We prefer to add a small amount of amber syrup to compliment the toasted flavors that are common in the Maibock style.

Belgian WitWe have added this carefully designed Belgian Wit after evaluating dozens of Wit, Wiezen, and Wheat Ale recipes. This wit is the most flavorful and refreshing of the group. The WLP 400 adds a slight tart to a subtle finish of caramunich and pale wheat malts.

Belgian Wit

OctoberfestAn extraordinary Octoberfest recipe that melds the rich maillard decoction flavors of Munich malt together with a small amount of D-45 resulting in a nice per-style dry and bready finish.

Gouden Carolus Classic cloneAn impressive non-Trappist amber Belgian Ale with a many centuries old tradition. "The Golden Charles" Belgian ale dates back to Emperor Charles V whose golden coins inspired this ale in the early 1500's.

Westvleteren 6 Blonde cloneThis ale has been rated time and time again as the best blonde (pale) Belgian in its category. It has a fine blend of citrus, honey, fruit, and spice with a dry finish and without being palatably sweet.

Westy Blonde

Westvleteren 8 cloneWe created this recipe hoping to develop a reasonable Belgian Dubbel that we had yet to trial. Taste testing this ale after a year in bottle conditioning we think it's the best dubbel in its class.

Westcoastmalle TripelAnother outstanding recipe provided to us by Denny Conn. We tested this recipe with our new Golden Candi Syrup and BLANC Soft Candi Sugar with exceptionally good results. In a lot of ways this Tripel is superior to many of the imports.

Westvleteren 12 cloneThis is a world renowned Ale. This is our 3rd year of refining this simple ale recipe and has permitted us to trial the performance of our rich dark D-180 Candi Syrup on one of the most spectacular ales in the world.NOTE: See the single malt variation under trial also ->

Westvleteren 12

Summer SaisonWe first tested Simplicity with this recipe and discovered that our neutral syrup contributed a subtle honey palate. It carried this flavor all the way to the finished ale and compliments any citrus zest addition well.

Maredsous 10 cloneMaredsous 10 excludes the roasted malts found in the Maredsous 8 and replaces it with an additional caramel malt. This is our favorite of the "Duvel" class of Belgian Ale's.

Denny's 400th - Belgian QuadThis Belgian Quad was provided to us by Denny Conn who graciously shared his recipe with us after using our D-180 Candi Syrup.
