Finish below 1.025 if you do not want it to be sweet. Ferment in the 60s for 4-5 days, and then let it go up into the 70s to finish. Pitch more yeast after 3 weeks if gravity is still high.
Notes from my first brew of this recipe*
4 months in primary on yeast cake (no move to secondary, no problem)
FG was .014 - 85% attenuation from this strain (the first 21 days I let it get as warm as it wanted, at some points fermentation was so active the temp was over 84 degrees; spent the next 3 months in the mid-60's
Pitched dry bottling yeast and additional sugar to carb it, took about 3 weeks to finish
The aromas of this "young Quad" are very nice - plum, cherry and balanced yeast funkiness. It will only improve with age.
Updated tasting notes - home run for sure, the beer has rounded out with age and is delicious.
Tasting note at Nov '15 @ 16 months...beer has been cellaring around 60 and I just popped a bomber to take a taste. Needless to say I am happy with the product. Deep raisin and fig aroma with a chocolate maltiness and a strong alcohol bite.
