Thanks! I'll give it a try this Sunday.
 
'my' dubbel/trippel recipe:
10lb 2row
1lb red wheat
Mash temp for whatever body you want
1oz northern Brewer, boil
1oz Syrian Goldings, 1oz saaz, flameout /hopstand
65F rising to 75F fermentation, with ardennes, westmalle, or duval yeast strain
Add 1-2lb invert sugar as fermentation starts to die down, and you get a golden strong / tripple, or 1lb D180 syrup for medium dark, or more for very dark.

Your abbaye dry yeast works ok in the dark syrup variant of this recipe, but after extensive experimentation, I have determined that it is not the best strain when compared side by side. Apart from a tasting comparison test, though, it is an acceptable choice.

that looks like a good recipe too, I like it , just a note that brown needs extra aging and is so malty you wont taste the yeast but I like the great attenuation flocculation of the abbey vs the chico strain

Did a Warrior(60) Amarillo(15,5,0) IPA with it on second runnings of a double jack clone. Suuuuuper fruity. Spiciness was minimal by keeping the temp low. Did another time with lamland safbrew abbaye split. Preferred the safbrew.

Interesting -- I prefer the lallemand, as it's more chimay-ish. They sure are different, though!
 
Very different. Safbrew is much more neutral in my limited experience, but I didn't push the temp on it.
