So rather than handing out cigars for having a new child I have a little tradition where I brew a special beer and hand it out to all my friends. My first kid was born in December, so I did a winter warmer. Kid number 2 was also a winter baby, so I amped it up and created double trouble ale, a hoppy imperial winter warmer.... So, for our third and final kid, I am thinking a Belgian Tripel(ish) beer is perfect. Rather than do just a Chimay clone or something though I wanted to go a little outside the box and do something akin to Blue Pants Highwater
Right now the recipe is a little on the low side for OG, but I'm thinking that may not be a horrible thing. I am guessing I can actually get the fg down a bit too, putting it closer to 6.5%
Any critiques are welcome as this is a pretty important (and final) kid beer!
