Whats your best Belgian recipe?

[germanmade84]

Im looking to become a more Belgian style brewer vs. typical ale brewer, so what is everybody using for good Bels?

I know someone has to have a good base model.

Many people have already taken the time to post some delicious recipes and lots of comments too!

I brewed several Belgians this year, and my favorite (and my most popular beer of the year) is actually this kit from NB:

I ferment with 3711. Very easy beer to make. It is a lovely beer and a great introduction to the Belgian world if you have friends who aren't familiar.

Here is a basic trippel:

80% Pilsner (2-row will do)
20% table sugar
To get an OG around 1.070
Mash around 148 F


Noble hops to about 35 IBUs
Maybe half ounce hops at 5 minutes too.

Your choice of Belgian yeast. Start ferment at about 68 F, and raise to 80 F over the course of 5 days. Leave it at 80 for about a week. Condition in bulk for at least a month.

I just used 3711 (AKA "the beast") for the first time. You will want to research it a bit. My sample was absolutely amazing. A Saison.
