OK, I was thinking about a fun New Year's brew that I could do on Jan. 1 and keep until NYE next year, and I landed on a Belgian tripel. I'm only planning on doing 3 gallons of it, since I don't drink many dubbels and tripels. So now I'm thinking, what if I make a tripel with my first runnings, and a saison with my second and third runnings? I'll need to add some grain between batches, but here's what I've ginned up so far, using BrauKaiser's partigyle spreadsheet and Hopville (don't have Beersmith on the work computer!)...
Batch #1: Belgian Tripel, 3 gallons
I'm shooting for the following:
OG: 1.087
FG: 1.009
IBUs: 31.1
Mash:
8 lbs. Pils
.5 lbs Munich
Mash in 4.7 gallons at 150F for 90 minutes, I'm assuming about 68% efficiency on the first runnings.
Added in boil:
1.5 lb candi syrup
3 oz dark candi syrup
Hops:
.8 oz Styrian goldings @ 60 min
.3 oz Styrian goldings @ 30 min
.3 oz Styrian goldings @ 15 min
Primary ferment with WLP550 @ 66F for six to eight (?) weeks, possibly secondary, bottle condition for 9-10 months.
Batch #2: Saison, 5 gal
Again, shooting for:
OG: 1.05 or so
FG: under 1.009
IBUs: 36.4
Add to mashtun:
4 lb Pils
1 lb Munich
.5 lb Acid malt
Mash 3.8 gallons at 150F for 90 min, batch sparge with 3 gallons
Added in boil:
1/2 tsp Burton salts
1.5 lb clover honey
3 oz dark candi syrup
Hops:
.75 oz EKG @ 60 min.
.5 oz Styrian goldings @ 30 min.
.5 oz Styrian goldings @ 15 min.
Add 2 tsp. of coriander seeds at flameout
Ferment at 70F, raising slowly to 77F over three to five days. Primary for three or so weeks, secondary for a week.
This is still in rough draft form...I've only done one saison in the past, which I liked a lot, but I've never done a lot of Belgian styles, so any input would be welcomed. Anything that doesn't look right or you think could be improved, let me know.
Also, has anyone else ever done a Belgian partigyle like this? Results?
Cheers
