I brewed this one on 4/9, and after checking it in the secondary tonight 4/17, its at 1.012, so I figure its done...I'll wait until the weekend to keg it up. I actually split the batch and did half with the forbidden fruit yeast and half with the belgian ardennes. They are different in that one is highly flocculent and the other is low floc. So I am hoping to see somewhat of a difference between the two beers. I had a taste of the ardennes yeasted one and it is very nice!!!!! Will update more as progress is available Ed
