Belgian Extra Dark

Recommended Posts

So I asked the question a few weeks back about gradually adding fermentables to a brew. Just bottled the beer I was working on at the time and it tastes like it might a cracker.

 

"Belgian Extra Dark"

 

to 20lt

1 tin Coopers Real Ale

1 tin Amber Ale

500gm Dry Wheat Malt Extract

500gm Light Dry Malt Extract

3 Vanilla Pods

1 Sachet Kit Yeast for nutrient

 

T58 pitched at 24deg and fermeted at 20deg

 

1 bottle of Dark Candi Sugar at 7 days

 

1 bottle of Dark Candi Sugar at 14 days

 

Bottled at 32 days and FG 1016 with the addition of 3 Vanilla Beans Steeped in the Bulk priming mix.

 

now for my conundrum.... when I took the OG it was 1065. How do I account for the later fermentable additions in calculating ABV?

weel if that's the case I put it into IanH spreadsheet and it gave me an expected OG of 1083 with a FG of 1020. an ABV of 8.3%.

 

not too bad I guess - sample tasted freaking amazing vanilla, Caramels and a hint of coffee
