Narrative (from Candisyrup.com):

90 minute boil. Chill to 63F. Oxygenate w/pure O2 for 90 seconds. Pitch yeast. Primary 7 days ramping up to 72-73F and maintain temps, (if necessary), until reaching 1.012. Transfer to secondary and hold at 60F for 5-7 days. Rack and hold at 50F for 4-5 weeks. Bottle prime with a half-starter of WLP540 and Simplicity at 31-32g/gallon. This La Trappe Dubbel requires extended cellar durations for flavor development. 6 months minimum.
