Infused jalapeno in some mead. I just mixed that with some from the keg. This is close to my vision. Best of both worlds.

First pour of a tripel I screwed up a couple of weeks ago. (But as we all know, it's still beer!) Fermented 2 weeks with Lallemond Abbaye at 68 and kegged only Sunday afternoon.

More interesting than this beer at it's current stage is this story: Came home from the gym tonight after 2 hours of racquetball and took a nice long shower.
Then I went downstairs, (only in my boxers of course), to lower the psi on this keg of beer. I was bent over in front of my fridge attaching the beer out line, one hand holding onto both the picnic tap end and the top of the fridge door. When I attached the line to keg I was immediately drenched. The picnic tap was open and pointed at my head and back!

It was my second shower of the evening. And I guess that makes this picture the second pour, not the first.
 
If I recall, you made some tweaks to your recipe. Are you happy with them? On second thought, it's probably too soon to tell.
I did tweak my recipe a little bit and so far I’m very happy. I added a touch of Melanoiden and a little bit of Munich to give it a little more golden color and added a little bit more bittering hops per some feedback I got at a competition. I also added 20 oz of homemade sauergut with 20 minutes left in the boil. Even as young as it is, I think it tastes awesome. I plan to take a couple bottles to the tiny little homebrew tasting competition at our county fair in a couple weeks and will probably send it to the Rocky Mountain Homebrew Challenge again this year.
