Westmalle Dubbel: 1.011

Piraat: 1.014
Someone is on a Belgian kick ;D

This is seriously good info. Any chance you have Rochefort Dubbel in your stash?

Which one do you consider the dubbel?  6,8, or 10?
Yeah, I picked up a bad habit of calling the 8 a dubbel and the 10 a quad, but I think technically the 6 is closest to a dubbel in going by strict guidelines. The 8 is my go to.

I listed the 6 and 8 in the first post.

Rochefort 6: 1.010
Rochefort 8: 1.008

I have a 10 in the fridge; I'll check it sometime this week.

I've been slacking on this project, but here are a few more.

Gravensteiner Unfiltered Lager - 1.012
Gravensteiner Pilsner - 1.014
Brother Thelonious - 1.019 (I find this utterly shocking)

On another forum, they maintain a spreadsheet of various commercial beer FGs.  Someone there measured PU with an Easy Dens and listed it as 1.014.

I ran it twice and got 1.016 each time.

i googled just after i posted this and someone said 1.015. it probably varies from mixed batch to mixed batch.
