Yes, delirium tremens(the medical condition and not the beer) can actually kill a person. The blood pressure and heart rate increase and they will have hallucinations and they will be truly in a state of delirium. It usually occurs when ETOH-ics are trying to kick the habit quickly or they run out of money to buy alcohol. I've seen it and it's not pretty.

I'm going to make this, using the whitelabs Trappist yeast (unless I hear objections). I will let you guys know how it turns out.

Yes, sorry, i used a Belgian yeast for this. I forgot it was not on the recipe. And saving some yeast back ensures carbonation and flavor.

There is a very extensive and interesting thread on cloning this beer on the Northern Brewer Forum. I suggest checking it out if you get a chance.

Yeah, it's kind of a terrible name for a beer. Of course, I don't think a lot of true-blue alcoholics drink it. If you've got the DT's you probably want a flask of cheap vodka, but still...

Of course if you've got a twisted sense of humor like mine, it's effin' hilarious.

As far as yeast goes, I think any of the belgian yeasts rated for high gravity will work fine, trappist included. But it will require a looooong time in the secondary to get the flavor right no matter what yeast you use. Hence the yeast at bottling time. Best of luck! I might eventually try this myself.

P.S. Brewdoc, what does the "ETOH-ics" acronym mean? This is the only forum I use, so I'm lost on a lot of acronyms. Most of them I can figure out, RDWHAHB, for instance, but this one I don't get.
