- Just what I like in a tripel.
This brew was done on a whim. I went in my LHBS without a recipe and made it up on the spot. I had a Pranqster the day before and was looking on their website and it listed the ingredients, so I just winged it with this recipe. Even the corriander was not planned, but I had a jar of corriander seeds sitting on the counter on brew day so I decided at the last minute to add some. It is not meant to be a clone but it turned out to be a great brew. The Brett from the Orval dregs adds a nice complexity. Very drinkable, with some slight fruity notes.
Recipe:
4 lbs. Belgian Pale 36.4%
4 lbs Belgian Pils. 36.4%
1 lb. wheat 9.1%
2 lb Candi Syrup Golden 18.2%
Mash 148 for 75 minutes
1.5oz Saaz 3% AA , 17.4 IBU @ 60
1 oz. Saaz 3%AA, 7 IBU @ 20
1 T Corriander seed whole ( crushed just before adding) @ 10 min.
WY1388 ( starter) pitched at 66. Held at 68 for two days and then let rise to 72 for initial fermentation for 4 weeks.
Racked to secondary and pitched the dregs from two bottles of Orval and let sit for 12 weeks. Bottle to 3+ vols. Enjoy.
Edit: Now after 4 months in the bottle the flavor keeps changing for the better. This is one of those brews where I want to drink them because they are sooooooo good, but also want to save them because I want to see how it changes over time. Definite rebrew worthy.. I guess I need to do it soon because it does take so long to reach it's full potential.
