Agree totally with Life here. I have gone to splitting batches during primary so they have plenty of head space...no blow offs. I sanitize crazily so this angle works for me.

Adding to this; the tripel was at 1093 and is down to 1015 after 5 days fermentation. WLP515 is probably not the ideal tripel yeast but I wanted to try it out.

I just brewed a tripel and I started with a 1200 ml starter (WLP515), stepped it up to 2500 ml, and then up to a 3500 ml starter. I feel like a starter or 400-450 billions cells is a must for a tripel.

The last time I dry hopped I did two additions, four days apart in my bright tank after primary had finished out. One ounce each time. I just dropped the pellets in and swirled ever so slightly. I then let the hops and yeast settle for about two weeks, racked, and bottled. It was pretty good...
