Abbey Lantern Belgian Dubbel

Belgian Dubbel is the warm, malt-rich side of abbey-style brewing: deep amber-brown color, creamy foam, dark-fruit malt character, soft spice, and enough dryness to stay inviting. It is a beer for brewers who want Belgian complexity without jumping straight into a huge dark strong ale.

Abbey Lantern is named for the glow this beer should bring to the glass: copper-brown color, raisin and plum-like malt depth, gentle caramel, subtle clove-pepper yeast spice, and a smooth finish that keeps the next sip easy. Amber Belgian candi sugar helps build authentic character while keeping the body from turning heavy.

This extract version keeps the brew day shorter with Pilsen Light DME and a focused specialty-grain steep for Belgian malt depth.

Companion version: This is the extract with grains version. If you prefer the other brew-day format, see the Abbey Lantern Belgian Dubbel all-grain recipe kit.

Grain Milling

We automatically mill the grains included with SoCal Brewing Supply beer recipe kits so they are ready for brew day. If you want the grains left unmilled, please add that request in the shopping cart notes before checkout. We’ll do our best to support unmilled requests when packing your order.

What to Expect

Expect toasted bread crust, caramelized sugar, raisin, subtle plum, soft Belgian spice, and a rounded malt profile that finishes drier than the color suggests. Bitterness is supportive, not assertive, and fermentation character is central to the beer.

Fermentation Requirements

Pitch LalBrew Abbaye into well-aerated wort around 64–66°F. Hold early fermentation controlled, then let the beer rise gradually toward 70–72°F as activity slows. Confirm stable gravity before packaging.

Brewing Notes

Treat the grain step like a controlled specialty steep, dissolve DME off heat, add amber candi sugar late in the boil, and give the yeast enough warmth near the end to finish cleanly.
