18B No Trouble Dubbel - Belgian Dubbel

Ryan and Cindy came by to help brew this one, with Fritz and Crunch in tow. After two hours of being extremely cold, we moved into the shop and turned on the 240V monster heater to keep warm.

This was a mixed grain/extract batch with a very simple boil. The grain bill is a combination of several online, with some randomness thrown in to taste. I hope this batch will be as easy to drink as it was to brew!
