I've done some reading (and searching) on this topic and I'm anxious about screwing up my Tripel that is brewing right now when I go to bottle. I plan to do corked/caged heavy duty bottles like the ones that Duvel come in.
Recipe says to shoot for 2.5 - 3.4 CO2. I have read (and a long time ago, I've experienced it) that this is significantly too low for many traditional bottled Belgian beers such as Duvel, Orval, etc.
I'm thinking I want to shoot for more like 7.0-8.0 volumes of CO2. Is that reasonable? For my 5 gallon batch, it mentions adding ~8 oz. of sugar, but I DO NOT want to overcarbonate.
Any and all experience/suggestions are welcomed!
