Now while I am sure there is a post somewhere about this......I don't care.
Just wanted to post what I am drinking right now. This is the one and only bottle of my ??Belgian nut brown?? I had a 1 liter starter of Whitelabs Abbey Ale Yeast going at the end of October. I used wort from a batch of Bourbon Barrel Nut Brown I did the week or two before that didn't fit in my fermenter. It went for a little over a week and the yeast all flocked out. I decanted enough liquid to fill this one champagne bottle and the rest got pitched into my Belgian Tripel. No idea what the FG is but OG was like 1.050. Being that it wasn't in the flask very long before bottled, I decided to not add ANY priming sugar. I just dumped it in the bottle and capped it. Now almost two full months later I decided to see what I had. It tastes great! A little sweet but it has all the Belgian character from the yeast and the burnt nut flavors from the grist. Not what I would call AMAZING but very drinkable for what would have otherwise been washed down the sink. I have a huge Brett B. Starter going now (2 liters) that I will bottle a couple from. Take from this what you will.....but why not have fun with a free bomber or two.
