I am looking forward to this one. Last Sunday I bottled my Dopplebock. While I swore i would never go back to bottling after kegging... i decided this beer deserved a bottle. Actually... i'm out of kegs in my fridge (can anyone say expansion?) so i decided to bottle instead. I still have the pumpkin ale and stout on tap, so i've been making some pumpkin java black and tans.
So in about 4 weeks the dopplebock will be ready to drink.. stay tuned
Another thing i thought about: my other beer that is currently lagering is a Belgium Blonde, high gravity... perhaps I should bottle this one as well...

Brew Day (Super Bowl Sunday)
Strong Belgium Ale.
Today i decided on a whim to brew a strong belgium ale. I hadn't prepared a yeast starter so i decided to go with some Munton's yeast packets i had. OK... so this might be a different Strong ale... but that is why i started brewing... to experiment.
10 pounds of Belgium pale malt (3 lovibond) mashed at 158 degrees F for 45 minutes. After sparging i added 2 pounds of organic white sugar (sucrose) and some Magnum and Goldings Hops and boiled for 1 hour.
O.G of 1.070
pitched yeast and set temp of fermentation chamber to around 78.
