WARNING: Kettle losses > 2% detected which throw off OG calculation for extract/partial mash recipes in batch target 'fermentor' mode. Solution: Reduce kettle losses, misc losses and hops absorption in equipment profile, OR set batch target to 'kettle' and do a full wort boil. See batch target FAQ.

Notes

I made a Belgian Strong Dark with the Ardennes yeast, and rack to a secondary and added the Brett Lambicus - just to see if it would result in a dark, tart cherry pie beer. On April 2, I sampled all my Bretts that I have going, and this one smelled of the Ardennes yeast (Belgiany/Abbey yeast) and was getting a little funk. Definitely warming alcohol, but I think it has 3 more months to go at least to get a proper level of funkness. See ya's in July!
