Steep grains at 150 degrees for 30 minutes. Sparge with 150 degree water.

Oregon Fruit Products canned Montmorency and Bing Cherries drained and added to secondary along with one drop of almond extract.

Spices added at flame out and steeped 10 min before cooling

"Dry Oak" with 2oz. med. toast French oak cubes in the keg.
 
Would love to try this as well. Is the 2 lbs of candi sugar just steeped with the rest of the grains?
 
I did indeed, bottled it about a week and a half ago. Little worried to be honest, was not digging the taste out of the fermenter at all. Aroma and color were nice. I've never made a Belgian, so really hoping the 2+ months in the bottle will even it out.

I used 7 cans of cherries, 4 sour, 3 sweet bing. So a little less than what the recipe called for, but didn't want it to be overpowering and those damn things were expensive!
