IPA could work. I might try a saison. Seems like a pretty versatile base to work from.

First off, congrats on your first brew! 16 213 + 5 Rare Vos Clone + 5 Moriae Encomium + 5 IPA =16228

Very drinkable, but not Tiburg's. Next time I'll try the recipe as I originally had it (half pound of crystal and no phoenix hops). Also, I think Tilburg's is probably using saaz and styrian. Finally, my yeast were overworked from a tripel, so repitching turned out to be a bad idea. All that...

1828 + 5 = 1833

My first pellicle!!

Alright, I know things are early, but I just took my first gravity reading (6 weeks post brew) and am drinking the sample. Holy **** I'm loving this beer. It's gonna kill me to wait a year to bottle. It's only at 1.010, so I've clearly got some time ahead of me. I'm planning on adding some...

I did a partial mash of this and it turned out great. I just did a side by side tasting, and it's damn close. Mine is still a little under carbed (only two weeks in the bottle so far), but the hops come through a lot more clearly. The rye makes for such a fresh aftertaste. I can already tell...
