250 ml of Wyeast 1762 Belgian Abby II yeast slurry went into the wort tonight (5.5 gallon).
Hopefully, this will end up as a Belgian Dark Strong at 10.6 ABV.
The yeast and the wort were at 59 oF when pitched. I am figuring on adding the cane sugar 3 days after active fermentation. The temperature will be ramped up with a Ferm Wrap heater after the beer hits room temperature.
Anyone see any problem with the above plan?

Re: Century Beer
The beer was starting to settle down on fermentation and the temperature of the beer was just starting to drop today. Dosed the beer with cane sugar tonight which will 3 days of fermentation.
If I can get the ADF around 75-76 percent, the beer should finish out about 10.8 ABV. Fingers are crossed.
Temperature is now controlled at 70 oF.
The way I figure it, it is Blktre's fault since I sampled the Grand Cru at the Mugs for Juggs get together. A mighty fine party

1. When a once extraordinarily hoppy beer now seems pedestrian.
2. The phenomenon a person has when craving more bitterness in beer.
3. The long-term exposure to extremely hoppy beers; if excessive or prolonged, a habitual dependence on hops will occur.
4. When a "Double IPA" just is not enough

Re: Century Beer
Took a gravity reading on the 6 day old dark strong ale today with 79 ADF and 11.18 ABV. SG 1.107 FG 1.022. Still has another week in the fermenter.
The beer is still very cloudy with the yeast in suspension. The alcohol doesn't have a bite but it is apparent on the tongue with a warming sensation.
If the ale continues on track, it should be very nice this winter and dangerous.
