Help with tripple made with extract

[GeneDaniels1963]

I am wanting to make a 1 gal Gruuit modeled after a Belgian tripple. Here is what I am thinking:

1.5 lb Briess Pilsen Light DME
steep 6 or 8 oz of Cara Pils
4 oz sugar
add 3lb blackberries in the secondary

I am thinking that should get me really close to a OG of 1.080.

Any suggestions?

I’m getting 1.075 on Brewers friend. This includes loss to wort in the grains and boil off and “35% efficiency for steeping grains only”. So I think you are in the ball park. I think you should go for it.
I didn’t see the blackberries When I first read your post, so yes your probably above the 1.080.

Yeah, I think it will be good. I will probably use a bit of acid reducing crystals at the end of ferment. Blackberries tend to taste very acidic once their sugar is gone.

I will pick up the stuff at my brewshop next chance I get. I will update this thread whenever I get it going.
