ok let me ask the pro's here what shoudl i do/add or take out my brew extract kit i got to make it taste as close to a blue moon flavore with the sweetness and orange citrus flavor but with a hell of alot more balls in the manor of a stronger sweetness/ orange citrus flavor...
the beer kit i got includes
it is a Belgian Tripel Extract Kit
KIT INVENTORY:
SPECIALTY GRAIN
-- 0.5 lbs Belgian Caramel Pils
FERMENTABLES
-- 6 lbs Gold malt syrup
-- 3.15 lbs Gold malt syrup
-- 1 lbs Clear Belgian Candi sugar
HOPS & FLAVORINGS
-- 0.5 oz Summit
-- 1 oz Saaz
YEAST
-- WYEAST 3787 TRAPPIST HIGH GRAVITY. Apparent
attenuation: 75-80%. Flocculation: medium. Optimum temp:
64°-78° F.
i also did get one 1 oz of bitter orange peels and 1 oz of Coriander Seed...
heck i dont need to try to make it stronger with alcohol % sense i will have a range of a starting gravity of 1075-1085... but with a starting gravity like that were do u think the beer should be able to get to in % of alcohol wise? im going to do a starter for my liquid yeast for about 2 days to make sure there is deffently enoff yeast cells......
oh and while im thinking of it ... for the starter when i put the yeast in the starte shoudl i put it in the fridge or leave it on the counter?
also what shoudl i put it in ... i was thinking a closed lid Tupperware container ..should that work for the yeast?... (and of course i would make sure the tupperware is sterilized)
im cant freaking wait for my kit to come in on the 8th .. im sooo freaking excited to make my own killer home brew beer.
so any help will be great.. and alway want to say thanks for all the help you guys have given me so far with all the noob qustions i have asked so far!!!
