Greetings,

Once the fermentation has stopped, I want to put the beer in a barrel before bottling.

Do I need to pressurise the keg while I leave the Belgium Dubbel to "condition" for 6 months before bottling??

Thanks
Clive
 
Hi
It is a plastic barrel.

How long should I leave the homebrew after fermentation ends, to get an idea of the Belgian Dubbel flavour??

Thanks
Clive
 
Unless you're wanting to sour the beer and get wood flavours, then don't worry with a barrel.

Just put it straight in bottles to bottle condition.

I leave mine for a couple of months before I dig into them, but in honesty you can start drinking it after a couple of weeks, maybe 10 days. The last of the batch normally lasts for about 15 months
