Hey Guys-
Y'all have been super helpful on past recipes, and so I figured I'd toss up my current ideas for a tripel and see what kind of feedback you have. Have at it!
Efficiency: 80% (on my equipment)
9lbs belgian pilsener
8oz flaked wheat (for head)
6oz belgian aromatic
4oz acid malt (to help with color- I have very hard water)
3lbs table sugar (boil)
2oz tettnang 60 min (adj. to ~35 IBU)
1oz saaz 10 min
90 min mash @ 148F
90 min boil (7gal down to 5.5 gal)
OG: ~1.083
FG: hopefully very low
I wanted to get some vienna into the grist, but I couldn't get the percentages to work out without cutting back more on the pils, which I didn't want to do. Good pils malt IMO should be the star here. I think for this attempt we'll go with simpler-is-better and use the above grist unless someone else here thinks it should be changed.
Also, as I am adding O2 directly to the wort, do you think this beer would benefit from a second addition of O2 around the 12-18hr mark like a really big beer would? I'm sure I'll come up with some more questions, but that's for later in the thread.
Cheers!
