Belgian Dubbel

This weekend I plan on brewing a Belgian Dubbel.  The recipe is slightly modified from a Zymurgy article.  The original won a Gold medal, so I am hopeful a little of that magic rubs off on me.  This is a high OG beer, so I am trying to get some yeast going in a starter right now.  I have never attempted this, so hopefully all will go well or the brewing will be delayed at least a week.  I am regressing a bit, this is an all extract recipe, but this is a holiday week so I wanted to do something simple and I love Belgians.  I also plan on racking this batch to a secondary after a few days, hoping to cut down on some of the bite I ended up with in the Pale.  Pics and posting to come following brew day, stay tuned.
