Notes

I aged this beer for about a year. I also left it in a secondary for about a month before bottling. I added a second dose of yeast 3-days prior to bottling and used DME for priming. It is most similar to a Chimay Ale. I mistakenly used amber candy sugar so my ale came out darker than the style so make sure you use clear or light candy sugar if you care about color. This was one of my best brews because I cellar aged at 55-60 for a long time. Bottling abv was about 9% whereas a year later it climbed to 9.4% (Could be my measurements but it seems to get more alcoholic with aging and the secondary yeast pitch. I boiled my wort for about 60 minutes and used a single mash method. The name Table VIII comes from Army tank gunnery tables where we had to qualify our crew and tanks to fight. This brew is in memory of my crew back in '88! Best job I ever had.
