Rhino's Trappist
Belgian Pale Ale • All Grain • 5 gal
This big beer is from Brew European Beers at Home. It has a high OG, and finishes good. I am always scared of cane sugar, but the style requires esters, and the recipe calls for it so we'll see. I used Trappist yeast that I harvested two months ago, the top 'beer' of the vial tasted ok so I assume the yeast is fine.
