Tafel Mystère Belgian Single

Knowing that I would have family coming in soon to celebrate my son's graduation from High School, I thought I'd better create a quick table/session beer for me to drink.

I had some unlabeled harvested yeast in the fridge. I was fairly sure it was Belgian Ale Yeast harvested from Dubble Minor and/or Doodle Bop, but I wasn't 100% sure.

Regardless, I figured I would use in this "Mystery" Table beer.

Short boil to get a quick brew day done. Quick fermenation.

Nice little table beer.

I've entered "Belgium Single" as the style, although since I'm not 100% sure that the yeast is Belgian and since I'm using Centennial hops, it might be more of an American Blonde. 

Honestly, though, who care what style I call it as long as I like drinking it.

Make small yeast starter a day or two before brew day.
Water salts bring Denver water profile (as defined by BeerSmith) to
Ca=101,Mg=8,Na=21,SO4=127,Cl=90,HCO3=104
Acid to bring water pH to around 5.3

Boil as directed.
Cool wort to as close to 60F as possible.
Ferment in low 60's for a day or two then let the fermentation rise to ambient temp.
