Hey everyone,
Late April I made a dubbel-ish (9% abv) and a more typical 10.5% strong dark.
June in racked to secondaries (carboys) where I planned on keeping them until early December. I may use as Christmas brews, and bottle the rest.
What I am now seeing are bubbles on the surface of the beer in the carboys. They're stored in the basement at about 70oF. This bubbling started a few weeks ago during a very warm spell and has not dissipated yet.
I am not worried about the beer, and am wondering if this is evidence of secondary fermentation due to the rising temps? I have heard that Belgians can dry out some over a few months in the bottle/carboy.
Thanks for any insight into what I'm seeing!
