I brewed a Belgian dark strong (westvleteren 12 clone). It's been bulk aging in a secondary (corny keg) for about the past 8 weeks after an 8 week aging at 50F.
So my question.....I now have a full kegging setup and I would much rather keg it and serve it as all i would need to do at this point is hook it up to carb it. I realize that this is frowned upon with Belgians but I'm sick of bottling. Anyone have any thoughts? What flavor does bottling provide to a belgian that is lost with kegging?
I thought I might try bottling half of it and force carbing the other half to compare side by side. This is obviously more work but would make the bottling work a fun experiment.
