Hey All,
I brewed something that is supposed to be similar to a Houblon Chouffe DIPA/Tripel clone(not exactly a clone).
I'm wondering if anyone knows that the final gravity of the actual Houblon Chouffe is? I suppose I could stick a hydrometer in a bottle but not sure if carbonation would effect the reading.
The reason why I'm asking is because my beer I believe is at terminal gravity and it's sitting at 1.019 and I was expecting lower then that since I used 2 lbs belgian clear candi sugar syrup from midwest brew supply. It's possible it won't be as dry as I was expecting it, not that it will be bad.
I pitched it on a yeast cake of a 1.040 beer and my OG for the Houblon Chouffe was 1.088 so it should have had plenty of yeast. Fermented for 1 week at 66 and then brought it up to 75 for two weeks.
Any advice. Here is the recipe and notes...
