    So I am making a tripel next

    Briess Pilsen Extra Light LME - 8 lbs, 2 oz
    Belgian Pilsner Malt - 3.5 lbs
    Clear Candi Sugar - 1 lbs
    Rice Syrup Solids - 1 lbs
    Belgian Biscuit Malt - 3 oz
    Brewers' Gold hops - 1oz @ 45 minutes
    Styrian Goldings hops - 0.25oz @14 minutes

    I think it will turn out really "yeasty" in flavor, just like every one of my 4 beers have come out so far.

    I would like to modify the recipe. High ABV will come with the recipe. I want to add a lot more hop aroma. What would you suggest?

    The thing with a tripel recipe is it take so long to age as most big beers and I think you will lose most of your hop flavor waiting on it. If are going for a english type IPA look at this one:

    Enlish Pale Ale LME 8.7lbs
    Wheat LME - 0.5lbs
    biscuit - 8oz
    cystal 40 - 8oz
    cystal 120 - 6oz
    Hops:
    Challanger - 1.5oz 60min
    Fuggles - 1.50z 10min
    Kent Golding 1.5oz 0 min or dry hop
    English Ale yeast
    Ibu 50
    alcohol 6.5%
    7 Gal start boil volume

    Well... I already have all the ingredients for it.
    So the answer is there is no way to add more hop.

    If you move the brewers gold to 60mins, then you can add the goldings at flameout or dry hop. the aroma won't be alot, but it'll be more than you got
