Grand Cru

I just took og readings on these, they are still bubling, but both batches are down to 1.012.  Pretty freaking cool, looks like they will get some time in a bottle before I drop them of at the end of the month.  I'll probably bottle the week after easter.
     I hit my final gravity in 3 days, but i'm sure it will drop a few more points.  I should bring these to the brewday, as this is a perfect example of the difference between the same beer with different yeasts, and the variety of flavors you can get.

 

Well, I dropped this one off today along with the ESB, I was going to enter the WLP530 version in the Belgian pal ale Catagory, but this one tasted like it needed a few more weeks.  I went with the WLP400 again, the one that we tried at Thirsty's brewday.(Thanks again for that brewday man freakin awsome), This one got better everyday after I bottled it, I only bottled it on the 17th, and had one last night, It is a really really nice beer, and the biscuit and honey malt really make this beer stand out.
  Thanks again Thirsty for all of your help on this one, it is truly a head turner.

 

I'm tossing back a few of these belgians right now.  GOD DAMN IS THIS SOME FREAKING GREAT BEER. 
  The WLP400 came out very nice, I undercarbed it to get an Belgian Ale feeling with it, but also so you could taste the Biscuit and the honey malt more easily.  This is the one that I sent to the Long shot.
   However now the one I did with the WLP530 Is now an ungodly fantastic beer,  I gave away a case worth to some lucky people at work today, and I can't wait until monday when people are offering to have my children, this beer is that good.



 

Time does amazing things to these complex belgians. Good for you to share the nectar, what its all about.
