I'm brewing my first tripel today for a friend who likes them. While I have been brewing for >5 yrs, I mostly do IPAs, wheats, browns, etc and haven't done too many belgian beers. My question is how long to condition it? I know that belgian yeasts take a bit longer for the primary fermentation so I'm expecting to leave it for a good 3-4 weeks opposed to a lot of my other ales where I keg them after 10-14 d. Secondly, I would like to keg it and I've seen people say to bottle condition for 3 mo minimum. Is this true? I assume I can do this in my kegs but don't really want to take two of them out of the rotation for 3 mo. Can I force carb them and just let them condition in the keg for a month or so?
