duchesse tastes like it could be back-sweetened though.

Ive never failed to have one carbonate so long as its not a ridiculously high alc%, however I have started recently to adding a pinch of wine yeast to the bottling bucket to ensure carbonation, if you go that route use an acid tolerant wine strain like k1v116. It will ferment in just about any circumstance its a real beast

I did transferred this beer from primary to secondary last Saturday. Now just another 12-15 months and I will get to taste it.

I did pitch another 5 gallons onto the yeast cake, making it the third generation Roselare yeast cake. It didn't start right away and it has been really popping the airlock, but there is fermentation going on. 15 gallons of Flanders in various stages at my house right now.
