Belgian Triple Recipe

[JLW]

I think I have settled on my next brew. I would like to brew a Belgian Triple. Anyone have any good recipes or clones they would recommend?

Check the database on this forum. I bet there is a fantastic tripel that is there for your perusal.

I am drinking this right now, 3 months after brewing and it is sublime.....


13.50 lb Pilsner (2 Row) Bel (2.0 SRM) Grain 79.88 %
0.50 lb Cara-Pils/Dextrine (2.0 SRM) Grain 2.96 %
0.50 lb Caravienne Malt (22.0 SRM) Grain 2.96 %
2.00 oz Williamette [4.80 %] (60 min) Hops 23.2 IBU
1.00 oz Argentine Cascade [3.70 %] (1 min) Hops 0.4 IBU
2.00 lb Candi Sugar, Clear (0.5 SRM) Sugar 11.83 %
0.40 lb Corn Sugar (Dextrose) (0.0 SRM) Sugar 2.37 %

The corn sugar and candi sugar were both fed incrementally to the primary fermenter after the propagation phase of the yeast was complete.

I allowed the propogation phase to take place at 66 degrees, I then gradually fed the sugar in and jacked the temp up near 80 degrees...

1.012 was the final gravity, and OG was roughly 1.085............I cultured the chimay strain from a bottle and I couldn't reccomend it more...


Measured Original Gravity: 1.085 SG
Measured Final Gravity: 1.012 SG
Actual Alcohol by Vol: 9.56 %
Bitterness: 23.6 IBU Calories: 387 cal/pint
Est Color: 5.5 SRM

To be honest you could use any smooth bittering hop and spicy finishing hop...no prob.
