11/12/07: The Tripel Twins (#49 and 50!)

Yeah, I might blend some of it, though I do like the contrast between the two so far, so I might just blend enough for a few "limited edition blend" 750's. Mmmm...limited edition...

Again, good luck with the fantome dregs. I came up empty, like I said, and they were from fresh bottles almost right off the container.

I've been having luck starting with very small amounts of very light gravity wort, like 30-50mL. What was your technique?

same. I was so pissed, too, because I really really want some fantome yeast.

What fermentation temps did you decide to go with, and how well did the tastes balance out? Been planning a big belgian for a while now and this thread got me going. I'm brewing sunday. Would like your input.

High 60's, letting it rise up to 74 towards the end of fermentation just to ensure completion. The Rochefort is awesome. I think the Chimay is screwed up, though. It tasted plasticy and super-bitter, like eat orange rind.
