Hi, I'm brewing a Tripel this weekend. 10 gallons using 20lbs of pils 5lbs of vienna 2lbs of aromatic 1 lb victory 2lbs of table sugar. 2oz of nugget 15.2 aa at boil and 2oz of saaz 2.5 aa at 60 mins 5 gl's with Imperial tripel/double yeast and 5 gl's using safbrew be-256. What do you think, and will this turn out?Made a Tripel with an experimental trio of Aurora/Columbus/Amarillo.
Some will probably come here to post that a Tripel should be Pilsner malt and sugar, only. I like the idea of the Vienna addition; the aromatic (and maybe the victory) could be overkill. You want it to be high-alcohol but also easy-drinking.Hi, I'm brewing a Tripel this weekend. 10 gallons using 20lbs of pils 5lbs of vienna 2lbs of aromatic 1 lb victory 2lbs of table sugar. 2oz of nugget 15.2 aa at boil and 2oz of saaz 2.5 aa at 60 mins 5 gl's with Imperial tripel/double yeast and 5 gl's using safbrew be-256.

I might ask you for input on a margarita-lime gose that I'd like to brew for my wife.Passionfruit gose today! Well ... gose today, passionfruit mid-fermentation.

Do you mean Nugget at 60 minutes (that is, 60 minutes left in the boil), and Saaz at flame-out (0 minutes left in the boil)? That should do fine.
I like Triple Double, but haven't used BE-256. The Internet is not so helpful on whether or not it is diastatic. If you haven't gone shopping yet, may I recommend Lallemand Abbaye?
This is what the last batch looked like.Purple beer, yummy!
Very interesting, love the color! What is the base beer?This is what the last batch looked like.
It’s an adjunct lager, so English pale, about 1/3 purple corn, and just a touch of Munich. Somewhat aggressive with Lotus and Bergamot at 5 minutes, but not into cold IPA territory. Too hoppy for a cream ale, not quite as bitter as a New Zealand Pils (and the hops are from the wrong side of the world), not malty enough for a blonde.Very interesting, love the color!

If you can get your hands on some Lublin/Lubelski hops, they have a really nice lavender thing going on. Enough so that you could use then instead of actual lavender, or to complement.Brewing a gluten free Lavender Saison (as I sip on some lavender sangria):
