Hi there all. Hope everyone is doing well. I am going to be brewing my first AG Belgian Strong and my questions are these...Thanks
1) Could you critique my recipe?
2) After listening to JZ and taking the advice regarding additional sugars (i.e. table sugar). Should I just add my 1.5# after/during boil or add it in gradually thru the primary (maybe 2-3 days in)
and of course if I shouldnt go that route, any advice would be great...Thanks
