Time to start into the Belgians. First attempt ever at a Bier de Garde, which of course in French means: Beer of the Garde. Recipe modified from a AHA beer of the week post: (https://www.homebrewersassociation.org/pages/community/blog/show?title=beer-recipe-of-the-week-biere-de-guarde). According to this was supposed to mash at 160 deg. Didn't read that until the end of the mash (mine was closer to the usual 148 deg).
So no experience with this one at all before. Expecting a rich, malty, adventure. Threw in a couple figs for a little more richness and because I just found out that I like fresh figs. Recipe below:

Brix 16.8, OG 1.069. Yielded a little over 1 gallon and love the color.
Next up is the brown ale made with the home toasted malt from a couple weeks ago...
