I put the Belgian dark (see here for recipe) in the fermenter today. It has spent about 2 months in a cube. I topped it up with about 3 liters of warm water so the wort was at 26C and pitched Wyeast 1214 Belgian Ale yeast. This strain is know to be a slow starter so i wait and see what happens.
S.G at 26C was 1.073 (corrected to 1.075) so if it ferments out as expected i'll have a final ABV of about 10%.
Cheers,
Steve...
EDIT: 16/12/2008, took a SG reading today and it came in at 1.018 so i think it has pretty much finished primary. Had a little tast too, prettty happy with it at this stage. I'm a bit worried about the speed of the fermentation but other than that all seems good.
