I am letting it sit at 48 F for a while. I'm not sure when I'll bottle it and let it condition there, but I'll wait some time. Thank you, I'm pretty pumped that it's going okay. Should be fun and good to learn from my mistakes in this one. ت&#1605...

Alright; I'll keep that in mind for the future. I'm pretty new to brewing, and I recognize that a trippel is ambitious for a beginner - but I live trippels and I tend to be over ambitious with stuff anyway. Thanks for the pointer though, seriously. ت&#1605...

So quick update: the temperature where i was fermenting the beer got extremely high - long story on that one - but I definitely noticed it was getting harsh, I'm guessing due to esters from the yeast. So I went ahead and put it in a secondary and cooled it in a much more stable room to 48 F...

Awesome, thanks for the advice; I'll let it wait. I tested it again and the gravity's only dropped a few points over the past few days - to 1.012. Thing is the alcohol taste has gotten harsher over the past few days, which worries me a bit.

I'm brewing a Trippel and I've already hit my TG of 1.014 after only 6 days in the primary fermenter. My OG was 1.08, I pitched Wyeast's Trappist High Gravity (WY3787), and it's been fermenting at 72 degrees. This is my first attempt at a Trippel. Everything I've read about brewing Trippels...
