Notes

After many samples of the new Deus beer from Boosteels, a few of us decided to give a go at brewing up our own version.

This brew was intended to be very dry and will be treated with the traditional champagne method.

One version of this was repitched with a quantity of Wyeast Trappist High Gravity to drive it down in gravity.

The beer went into the secondary at 1.014, currently at 9.57%

Bottles were dosed with a solution of sugar syrup to generate 3.5 volumes of CO2 per bottle. Sugar syrup was spiced with ground allspice, cinnamon, black pepper and fresh ginger.
