I was given a jar of yeast from a fellow brewer which began as Chimay bottle dregs. My friend brewed a Belgian table beer on it before I got my hands on a jar of the yeast from his fermenter. I brewed an all DME 4% brew on it to build up the yeast cake, I kegged it after 3 weeks, it only reached 1.019. My 2nd batch is an all grain Belgian table beer, mashed at 153F, estimated ABV for the recipe is 4%, after 8 days it is at 1.009. For this ferment I added a brew belt and have raised the temp to 74F following the end of active fermentation.
I have never used this type of yeast before, not sure what its terminal gravity should be, if I am close to it now, will brew a Dubbel on the yeast cake this weekend. Does anyone have any experience with this strain?
