So Im curious what others are doing with these belgian dubbels. Ive read online that belgian dubbels are typically 2.3-2.9vols here (and other sources) Carbonation Levels For Different Beer Styles - Home Brew Answers . I have a belgian dubbel that has been on tap now for 9days and set to 2.5 vols and wasn't satisfied compared to my fav belgian dubbel examples (Rochefort 6 and Westmalle Dubbel) which seem to be north of 3.0vols out of the bottle. So I forgot that I had the BLAM ebook on my kindle and sure enough, it suggests that Westmalle targets 3-4vols at bottling. So, while I am kegging, I have an independent regulator on this beer, and based on carbonation charts and my keezer which averages 39 degrees F +/- 1 degree or so, today I set the psi to 19 to target 3.1-3.21vols (38-40 range). SO just curious what others target their vols to for their belgian dubbels. TYIA!
