- In this video, I show you how to brew a Belgian Pale Ale. This video covers the recipe, the brew, fermentation and the final tasting. Belgian Pale Ales, also known as Singles (Singels) or Belgian Table Beers, have been brewed by Belgian Monks for centuries. These beers are typically made from the second runnings from the mash for a Tripel or Quadruppel and are characteristically low ABV, easy drinking and exceptionally balanced. My attempt at the style tasted fantastic, but was plagued by chill haze, which takes away from what the beer could have been. This style is supposed to be clear, not hazy. Overall the final result was 5.3% ABV with 22 IBUs.
Update: The chill haze was gone after about a week and a half at serving temp in the keg!!

Rad keezer dude. Love seeing you progress, make different beers, and enjoy the process. As a new homebrewer, this is awesome and very enjoyable.
It's so awesome haha, really cuts down on all that time spent bottling. Part of why I made this channel was to document the process improvements made along the way, glad you're enjoying the channel!
Another great video. Cheers!
Cheers, thank you!
Just finished brewing this one, turned out good, had a super think foamy frausen that stuck around for days well after I achieved my FG, bit wierd but got the result I wanted in the end.
Great job on your videos!
Thank you!
Great video! I’ve actually learned a lot from your channel! Great job! I currently have a 2 Row Smash in primary utilizing Ekuanot as the hop. It’s being fermented by omega Hornindal Kveik, awesome yeast.
Thanks for the kind words! Its always awesome to see this channel helping people out. That beer sounds epic!! I haven't had a chance to play with eukanot or kviek yeast yet but I will in the future. Cheers!
Look's tasty , gonna have to put this in the "to do" list !!
It's a great all around brew. Cheers!
Congrats on the keezer..... nice Belgian pale you made also
Cheers Steve
Thanks! Yeah its definitely going away quickly!
I took inspiration from your recipe but I added more malt and candy syrup and reached 8.5% and it turned out fantastic!
Sounds like you made more of a dubbel, sounds like it would be pretty good!
Actually, for me personally, a little haze in belgians makes it more aligned with the yeast ester flavors.
It just doesn't taste the same when it's too clear...
You should do another single
I should!
Great vid man. Tip for the transfer if u have hops or spices, get a bazooka screen for your kettle. Rad keezer man. Now I just have to start negotiating with my wife about me getting a keezer. :)
Thanks! That's a good idea. I'm thinking about getting a false bottom screen for my kettle so I can do some more involved mashes. Think that would work?
Where do you buy your grains from? Amazon too? Love the videos man, keep it up.
I usually go to my local Homebrew shop for everything. Glad you're enjoying the videos!
a few people make different screens for your ball valve that can help with that. good adjustment!
Oh yeah I learned that lesson pretty quickly haha I now have a bazooka screen on there all the time
I have done a belgian pale ale using all munich combo (very light and dark) and it came out really good, very bready plus the yeast profile made it somewhat like a banana bread
Sounds good! It's a great style!
@@TheApartmentBrewer i also used jarrylo hops based on the flavor profile.
@@JimmyJusa sounds interesting, can't say I've heard of those hops, they a new variety?
@@TheApartmentBrewer 5-6 years old, but since it's not an IPA leaning hop it probably has been flying under the radar. I tried them in a hefe/American wheat split batch and they didn't seem to work as well overall but that was just one batch.
aye what is that wort chiller again?
It's a Coldbreak 25' IC: amzn.to/2IZ3vE5
Why dont you just add spices to the hop bag?
4.5-5% abv is just a standard beer. Table beers should be 1-2% abv.
Fair enough, primarily was going for the Belgian pale ale on this one though
@@TheApartmentBrewer sorry I wasn't having a dig at you, I just wasn't sure if you understood the style, great video by the way, end result looked good.
Kinda reminds me of the three stooges brewing beer in their kitchen .
