Okay I've gotten a bunch of great advice. Few more questions. If I were to do a starter how much would you suggest I do and do you think I will be able to achieve the temperature control close enough without an actual temperature controller? And I read that brew belts aren't meant for carboys is...
I'm not yet set up for yeast starters but I was going to pitch 3 packs of the 3787 and add the nutrient. I haven't done the exact math on how much yeast so if three sounds like too much or too little let me know.

Sorry that I'm kind of bouncing around here but the questions just keep popping up in my head. This is the first time I'm going to be using my oxygen kit and I'm not sure how long to let it run. I have a sort of home made kit consisting of the home depot tank with their on off valve going...
So no issues on going from a larger carboy to a smaller? I also forgot and I'm not sure how important it is but this isn't a full grain brew just an extract kit

Thanks so much for all the good advice so far. How long would everyone recommend leaving this beer in the primary and would anyone rack to a secondary? Also if I were to rack to secondary is temp control still as vital or should the yeast have settled down a bit?

Cool. Thanks for the suggestions. On the equipment side I have a 6.5 gallon carboy I plan to use for the primary with a blowoff into a bucket of san. I use a 5 gallon pot for my boil. I have a wort chiller and oxygen set up along with a lot of the regular stuff. Anything key I might be missing...
I was going to use the wyeast 3787 trappist high gravity. I have a brew belt but my apt runs around 63-65 this time of year do you think I will get enough heat from that

Does anyone have suggestions, past experience, etc with brewing Belgian trippels. I'm going to be brewing one soon and its only my second brew. Any equipment suggestions or fruit additives preferred. I love Belgian beer and was thinking about putting orange I'm this one. I just want it to turn...
I had bought it with a wet yeast so I know that is bad. The grains are already crushed and in a sealed bag. 2 packs of Mt Rainier hop pellets in sealed packs. All dry malt sealed all sugars sealed and the lme sealed. If anyone thinks I should just buy a new one or if there is anything I can save...
First question. I have a brewers best Belgian trippel kit that I bought about a year ago and never got to use. Do you think that it is still good to use? Second question. What are some key pointers to brewing a good Belgian beer?
