2ndary Fermentation Trouble?
I have a belgian dubble in 2ndary for 10 days so far and from 1 it had an active airlock (actually a blow-off tube). Not traub, but co2 into the adjacent grolwer of water. There has been a layer of traub on top, but not expelled through blow off tube. Last night as I was getting ready for bed, I not...

Secondary Fermentation time for Belgian Dark/Dubbell
Racked to 2ndary last Friday after 14 days in Primary. There was sporadic bubbling in the airlock. After racking, there has been 4+ days of slow, but consistent bubbling (no added yeast or cadi sugar, though still thinking of adding candi sugar). Was thinking of either bottling on Sunday (9 days 2nd...

Belgian Dark Ale yeast question
Has anyone experimented with adding another yeast into seconday fermentation?
When i am ready to keg or bottle, i have heard some add yeast then for bottle conditioning and carbonation. does that mean no bottling sugar?
thanks for your time.

My thought is to spice one slightly differently during fermentation and maybe keg 5 gallon and bottling the other. But I am thinking that bottling all 10 gallons mi...

Goal fermentation temp for Belgian Dark Ale
I am brewing 10 gallons this weekend. I will split into to 6.5 gallon carboys to allow for a little different tinkering (dry hopping, spicing, etc) in the primary and secondary. My question is what temp for this type of beer should i shoot for?
Thanks for your time
