I'd ditch the carapils all together. Up the Vienna and I don't see any sugar. Belgians have a dryness and lighter body that comes from sugar. I'd lower the Pilsner and get about 10-15% simple...

Leffe Brune is in the States. I get it in PA, one of the worst states for getting beer...in fact I just picked some up today. To the ABV question, it's 6.5%.

Going to keg an 8% Belgian Dubbel for the first time in a few weeks. Normally I use around 2.5 oz of corn sugar or 2 oz table sugar to prime in the keg (5G corny). Belgians should be a bit higher,...
