Delirium Tremens beer clone homebrew recipe?
Does anyone have a good Delirium Tremens clone recipe?
I found two:
One calls for pilsen DME, and wheat DME, seeds of paradise, ginger, and coriander.
The second calls for Golden Light DME, and seeds of paradise.
What would you add to a DT clone???
It's been a while since I've had DT but I don't recall detecting much of the spicing they mentioned, at least not more than I would attribute a healthy dose of yeast. Wheat also seems out of place, I can see the flavor I just never really knew/expected that it was part of the grain bill so perhaps you can add some.
I'd go for something like this (off the top of my head)…
~8lbs of Pilsener DME
~2lbs of Belgian Candy Sugar, light in color
~1lbs of Cara 20 GRAIN
Steep the Cara 20 for 15 minutes then boil the remaining ingredients per the usual.
1oz Saaz at 45minutes
1/2oz Saaz at 20 minutes
1/2oz Saaz at Knockout
Wyeast 3522 or 1388.
Can't help you there, but I can tell you you are on the wrong forum. Try Ratebeer.com. They have massive knowledge on the subject. If you asked for a Budweiser/Corona clone you may get some answers. I don't think these people even know what that beer is (let alone how delicious it is). I pull my hair out here trying to open some eyes.

Once again, someone has to get negative…
Like AleSmith, it has been awhile since I've had Delerium Tremens, though I thought I remembered it being more of a traditional (whatever that is) Tripel. I can't recall spicing, other than the naturally occuring spicy/estery flavors and aromas as a result of the unique Belgian yeast and the candi sugar.
I've yet to brew a Belgian of any kind, but I applaud your motivation. AleSmith's recipe sounds ok to me…
Cheers and Happy Brewing!
