I bottled the Bastogne tonight. Gravity was at 1.011, putting it just over 7% ABV. It smells/tastes absolutely amazing. Great Amarillo hops nose. I also racked off the Biran to the secondary (we need the fermenter tub for brewing tomorrow night). Gravity is at 1.022, weighing in at a whopping 10.7% already. This is going to be a warm beer.

Biran
posted by Jon
This past Tuesday (2/8/11) Ryan and I brewed our Belgian quad, "Biran". This was a bit of a spur of the moment brewing. We didn't actually make the decision to brew until Monday afternoon, which didn't leave much time for the yeast starter. Fortunately we are still using the WLP545 Von Bora yeast which is a pretty aggressive strain. By Tuesday the airlock on the starter was bubbling quite well. I also made another 3 lbs of Belgian candi sugar on Monday.

Patience, part II

In the last few days I've been doing some research on bottle conditioning. I've found a few interesting things.

Bottling
posted by Jon
Last night Ryan and I bottled the Von Bora and the Fekete Mokus. We also racked the Belgian IPA to the secondary. The Mokus and Intruder will be delivered to all of you in a couple of weeks.
Be careful when bottling. Sometimes the bottles bite.
