Greetings,
I recently purchased a Brewers Best Belgian Tripel. I have been contemplating modifying the recipe a bit, and would appreciate some comments and suggestions!
Original Packages comes with:
(7 lbs) pilsen light dry malt extract
(4 oz ) carapils
(4 oz ) Aromatic
(1.5 lb ) light candi sugar
(8 oz ) maltodextrine
(5 oz) corn sugar for priming
(1.0 oz ) Kent Hops (60 minutes)
(0.5 oz ) Kent Hops (15 minutes)
Recipe claims this is for a 6.5 gal batch of Belgian Tripel. I am somewhat doubtful, as it does not seems to have enough malt. (Edit: recipe is actually for 5 gal)
My current modification:
*(8 lbs) pilsen light dry malt extract
*(1 lb ) Munich Malt
(4 oz ) carapils
(4 oz ) Aromatic
(1.5 lb ) light candi sugar
(8 oz ) maltodextrine
(5 oz) corn sugar for priming
(1.5 oz ) Kent Hops (60 minutes)
*(1 oz ) Hallertau (15 minutes)
Current plan is to do this for a 5.5 gal batch instead of the 6.5 gallons originally called for. Brewers Best included a yeast packet, but I think I may go for a wYest 1214 or similar.
I was planning to steep the grains in 2 quarts of water at 150F for 30 minutes or so, and add the DME in stages... but I have not decided how those stages should be laid out.
I look forward to comments and criticisms (and questions if I need to clarify!)
