Hi-
So, I'd like to try my hands at creating a belgian trip/dub. I started with this dragonmead clone as my base recipe, and found elements of other dubbels I liked and came up with this.
I would love your thoughts as this is my first creation. I also need thoughts on yeast. I want a complex beer (as you cal tell by the grain bill). Thoughts on hops and grains are welcome too.
