This looks like a great beer. Curieux is one of my favorites! I have decided to brew this as my first leap into AG.
I do have one question though. I like to bottle big tasty beers like this so they last a little longer and can be saved for special occasions. What should I prime this with and how much of it. Thanks in advance for any help and thank you for this great recipe. I can't wait to get cookin!
Would Belgian candy sugar be better than corn sugar?
Well you've convinced me sir. I'll be brewing up a batch of this this weekend in a marathon brew session. I have a 55 lb sack of Pilsen malt, and was looking for something to make with it other than the Schwarzbier I bought it for!
So how's it coming?
Ok. I brewed this on saturday and I missed my OG, ending up at 1.065. This was my first AG attempt so I don't think my efficiency was up to par and I didn't get enough water boiled off. I also had to substitute .40 lb of table sugar because I cant convert oz to lbs and only got 10 oz of corn sugar. At worst I will have a hoppy Belgian double. I plan to harvest my yeast and try again next weekend. My oak just gets to enjoy that Jim Beam an extra week or two. Trial and error right?!

I am going to bottle this beer. Any opinions on if I should add new yeast after such a long fermentation?
