I was given a smack pack of this yeast, but i HATE witbier. I am not going to make one of those. So I am wondering if anybody has used this beer in a tripel or any other kind of beer that turned out ok?

I used this once in a beer that I pitched this as a primary, and pitched french saison after day 3 in secondary.
It came out brilliantly as a summer slammer.

I've had great luck making dubbel's with that yeast, and they don't have to be super big beers like tripel's (which you don't have enough yeast for anyways).

I have stir plate with a 4000ml flask........i will make the appropriate amount of yeast for whatever I make. I do 11 gallon batches so a smack pack is never enough.
Does this yeast react well to simple sugars in the wort? I was thinking of something different...like a witbier, tripel cross.....
18 pounds base malt
4 pounds vienna
2 pounds flaked oats
3 pounds (honey, invert/candi sugar, or something)
30 IBU of millenium at 60-90 for bittering
2-3 ounces of spalter at 10 minutes for flavor/aroma
OG = 1.067 or so...
FG on the low side of 1.009
Mash at 148-150 for 3-4 hours.
