Homebrewing for beginners does not get much friendlier than this. This Belgian Dubbel recipe kit comes with every pre-measured ingredient you need to brew Martin's Belgian Dubbel, a 5-gallon all-grain batch, from grain to glass.

The dubbel took its modern shape at the Westmalle abbey in the 1920s, a dark Trappist ale stronger than a table beer but well short of the tripel. It spread through the Belgian monasteries and their commercial imitators and became one of the anchors of the abbey tradition.

The color runs from deep copper to brown, and the flavor leans on malt and dark candi sugar: raisin and plum with a touch of caramel, and a dry finish that keeps it from turning sweet. Yeast adds a soft spice underneath. It is a beer of depth rather than force.

A Note On Substitutions

This kit includes Great Chit in place of the recipe's Carapils®; Crystal 20 in place of the recipe's Caravienne Malt; Wheat Malt in place of the recipe's Wheat Malt, Red (Rahr); Hallertau Mittelfrüh in place of the recipe's Hallertauer Hersbrucker. We stock dry yeast only, so SafAle BE-256 (Belgian Abbey) dry yeast stands in for the recipe's Belgian Ale Yeast (Wyeast Labs 1214).

  • This kit is built for brew-in-a-bag (BIAB), the simplest way to make all-grain beer at home. The basic brew day looks like this:

    1. Heat your water and steep the milled grain to make wort.
    2. Boil the wort, adding the hops on the schedule in the recipe.
    3. Cool the wort down quickly, then transfer it to your fermenter.
    4. Pitch the yeast and let it ferment for about two weeks.
    5. Bottle or keg, wait for carbonation, then enjoy.

    That yields roughly 53 bottles of fresh Belgian Dubbel. It works great with our digital electric homebrew systems, which hold your temperatures for you, though any kettle and burner will do.

  • This is a recipe kit, so it includes the ingredients only. To brew it at home you will also need:

    • A brew kettle or an electric all-in-one brewing system
    • A grain bag for brew-in-a-bag (or a mash tun for a traditional mash)
    • A fermenter with an airlock
    • A thermometer and a way to chill the wort
    • Sanitizer, and bottles or a keg for packaging
