You can certainly rack it onto fruit, but I would let it develop on it's own and see if you like it. If you don't you can always put it on fruit. It will wake back up. Probably get sick again, and...

It would be such a waste to dump that beer. With the fairly low IBU of that beer, you have a chance for something nice.

I wonder what OG that recipe is supposed to have. My efficiency can be 80-85%. I feel like my GU/BU ratio could be all screwed up.

Everyone brewd a batch for it. They can pull some anytime ONLY if they bring enough to replace it. Mind the angels share. Unless you keep it full to top, I wouldn't bother.

Brewing blind. That was interesting.

I've always been devoted to a good process and repeatability. This time I wanted to try something different.

It started when my expensive laptop died. What? No Beersmith? I'm not an engineer...

I seem to have a knack for Belgians and for some reason IPAs. I rarely drink IPAs, but when I brew one I prefer it over comercial examples.

Aj's baseline has been far more helpful to me than any of the spreadsheets. Using the acidulated malt has gotten me were I want to be consistantly.

For a light colored or golden Belgian I would just use table sugar. It will dry it out without imparting any flavor.

Right. If anything goes wrong with your fly sparge, batch sparging ends up being far more efficient. I didn't want to worry about channeling so I went with batch sparging. I get 80%. I don't...

Simple English Barleywine

Meaning you would have to be open fermenting.
