Have to say that my clone is the closest one to Duvel that I have brewed so far. I did the Tripel Hop recipe and it's probably as close as I'm going to be able to get from home. Sorry it took me a bit to get back, but I worked 65 hours one week, 79 the following one and then popped positive for...

I recently brewed a Duvel clone but with a higher OG of 1.087, added two pounds of clear candi sugar in near the end of the boil. Using Wyeast 1388 for Belgian Strong Ale, I ended up with a FG of 1.002. Pitched at 62 degrees and using Brewblox, raised the temperature immediately to 65 and then...

Just put my Duvel clone in the keezer on CO2 yesterday and will report back about how my 62 degree pitch tastes in a week to ten days.

I just brewed this Recipe: Numero Dos Mexican-Style Lager Just finished fermenting and going to lager at 35 degrees for 30 days. Can't wait to try it out.

Hi from West Seattle....moved here at the beginning of January to work on the West Seattle bridge and even with a long time to get settled in and working long hours, have still managed to brew three batches- a NEIPA that I'm currently drinking, a Duvel Tripel Hop clone that is cold conditioning...

It ended up at 1.001 for three days, so I did a CO2 transfer to a keg and purged it. It's currently sitting in my second fermentation freezer at 28 degrees for 20 days, after which I'll switch it over to the keezer and carb it up. Will let you know how it is after it carbs.

I have one running in a batch of Mexican Lager in my fermentor right now. It works perfectly and integrated well with Brewfather.

I pitched at 62 and set Brewblox to raise the temperature 4 degrees per day up to 82, and used 3 pounds of clear Candi sugar.

My Wyeast 1388 Duvel Tripel Hop clone is still going. Thought it was going to finish at 1.006 but it's around 1.002 now.

I hear you on that reason. I'm currently in Seattle with a work transfer after being in Denver (the sunniest major city in the US) and in Austin (where it doesn't rain that much either), so I was losing a lot of outdoors brewing days here.

Received an Anvil Foundry 18 gallon unit about a month ago and brewed using it a couple of weeks ago. I bought the recirculation kit with it but used my Blichmann Riptide since the valve on it seemed a lot easier to use than the clamp that came with the Anvil pump. Also used a Brewbag inside so...

Received a RAPT pill electronic hydrometer and got it set up. Going to brew this weekend and try it out.

Will do....I'm running Brewblox on a fermentation freezer and adjusted it to rise two degrees per day over a five day period as it definitely would not do that on its own.

I've never pitched this low before but it was recommended in a recent article about Belgian golden strong ales in Craft Beer and Brewing. It's supposedly what Duvel does, so I decided to try it out.

I have a golden strong in the fermenter now as well. Wyeast 1388 with a double starter, 1.3L of water to a cup of DME and ran it twice. Pitched at 64 degrees and ran it up to 84 over five days, where it's holding at now. Started at 1.088 and it's currently at 1.006 and looks about finished.
