Buzzy Beer Bottled

I bottled the Buzzy Beer today. I estimate the final alcohol by volume to be 10%. I have to use an estimate because in order to bottle condition and carbonate the beer, I had to add an additional 1 1/4 cups of Munton and Fison Extra Light Dry Malt Extract. Before I added it, I measured the gravity at 1.023 with an ABV of 9.9%. I expect to get an additional .01% or so from the carbonation and conditioning process.

Final stats:

Class: Belgian Dark Strong Ale
Starting gravity 1.100
Finishing Gravity 1.023
ABV ~10%
International Bitter Units 14



By my calculations the beer should be ready to crack on December 21st (10 weeks from now.)
