Finally managed to Brew Dubbel last week. Fermantation gone well, down from 1067 to 1012. Was planning to leave in Primary for 2 weeks and then in secondary for 3-4 weeks before bottling. Having done bit of reading on some US forums, appears some brewers negate moving to secondary and...

Has anyone advise if they have used S-33 for a Dubbel before? I've faffed up my liquid starter and my brewing window is Friday, and won't be able to get anything sorted before then. S-33 is the only possible yeast that I have. Reasearch suggest that the Fermentis write up on the yeast is a...
