Mark, your Scaldis Recipe...

[johnmc]

Here you go Mark. Here is the recipe for the Scaldis Premium.
Here is a Scaldis fact. It is only called Scaldis Premium in the USA. Everywhere else it is called "Bud Premium" I guess they do not want us to confuse this excelent $45 per bottle beer with the American MegaSwill Budweiser. I will post the Extract recipe when I hammer it out. Now the real Scaldis is aged for 6 months in oak barrels, so you may consider adding a few oak chips. I have never done this before.

I am thinking about formulating an extract recipe to brew, because it will be easier since I am in the process of moving. Anyway, here is the all-grain recipe.

5 gal
OG = 1.115 - 1.116
FG = 1.021
SRM: 13 - 14
IBU = 33
ABV = 12.0%

12.25 lb Belgian 2-row pilsner malt
6.25 lb British Maris Otter
9 oz Belgian cara-munich
4 oz Belgian aromatic
2 lb Belgian clear candi sugar

Mash at 149F for 90 minutes
Boil 60 minutes
6.8 HBU Styrian Goldings (60 minutes)
1 oz EKG (15 minutes)
1 oz Syrian Goldings (3 minutes)

WY1388 Belgian Strong Ale yeast

Here is my Dry Malt Extract Scaldis Clone recipe.
And, if you use a hop bag you don't lose any of your Wort.
Now I had some Scaldis at the Flying Saucer during the last St. Arnold's PubCrawl. I compared it to the Chemey Blue and it made the Chemay taste like Shit!
This is a 12.6% Beer, I believe the Scaldis is actyally 13%

Hey, i JUST ordered the scaldis kit from my buddy, cool, another belgian recipe'er.

[Transporter]

I will brew the scaldis as soon as I have my system fully built and right after I brew the Austrialian Pale ale for the wife. I don't have anywhere to put it yet. I still have to figure out how to corney condition our wonder brew

[johnmc]

Corey, Where did you order the Scaldis recipe?
Is it 13% alcohol?
How much was it, when you brewing it, when can I taste it, yada, yada, yada??

[Bob McGill]

I had never heard of Scaldis so I went to the web site. Johnny, you have several sins of commission and at least one of commission. First, Scaldis is not know as Bud in Europe. The name that appers in Spian for BudWeizer is for a Czech Lager sold in the US as BudVar (the name of the brewery (an outstanding pilsner).

The name for this beer in Belgium is Bush (was this the beer that our president was refuring to on questions about drunk driving charges when he replyed "when I was youg and foolish, I acted young and foolish"?.

The alcohol content is reported as 12%, not 13%.

Now the sin of ommision. This beer is certainly a saisson and should not be compared with a Chamey. This is much like comparing a British ESB with an American pale ale. One is highly hopped, the other is not; one is highly carbonated, the other is not (but in reverse order). The obvious choice on yeast for this beer should be a Sassion yeast (unless you want a 20% beer.

The Scaldis is a strong golden belgian ale 12% alc by vol.It is called Bush in Belgium.John www.maltose.com has a large selection of clone brews.They have Scaldis extract w/specialty grains and 2 yeasts for $66.00.Dubuisson is the name of the brewery and buisson in French translates to Bush.Scaldis is the Latin name for the river Schelde which flows near the brewery.They also have a Scaldis Prestige which is aged in oak and 13% but that is not what we had at the Flying Saucer.

Well I went to the Brewer's site
www.br-dubuisson.com/An/index_bush.htm
and this was all they said about Scaldis.....
- It was created in 1933 by Alfred Dubuisson, grand-father of the present family brewer, Hugues.

- Its former name was "Bush 12%", but today it is known as Bush Amber.

- Its amber colour is due to the use of caramel malt in the production process. Bush Amber, the strongest Belgian beer, has an alcohol content of 12%.

- Its bitter sweet taste provides it with firmness and personality. What's more, it helps digestion

No OG, SRMs, or IBUs, Just the ABV...
