Hello my darling brew buddies...
Put up a Belgian Dubbel three weeks agao (MoreBeer.com extract kit)....At 2 weeks I put it in secondary and stole some, while a bit sweet of course...it still tasted amazing. Now a week later (total 3 weeks in) I stole some, because that is what I do ...anyway, it seemed even sweeter at this tasting??? Is that possible/normal? I know it is meant to be a carmel malty beer with little hop profile but just curious if it will stay sweet or smooth out OR is there anything I can do at this point to "balance" it a little. It is currently tasting a little "heavy"..yeah I know dubbels are, but you know what I mean......
Clearly this is my first Dubbel so I am more curious than anything.
I plan on leaving it in the secondary for another 3 weeks for a total 6 weeks before bottling...thoughts/advice/etc...all welcome
Thanks for help
Rox
