Tripel the Fun

Belgian Tripel • Partial Mash • 5.2 gal

Franklin Brewer

I know it's "out of style", but who cares? It's for enjoying, not for entering in a competition. Besides, I brewed it before and it was WONDERFUL. I added a touch of Nottingham yeast to help clear it up, and man oh man, it is fantastic. Oh, I pitched 2 vials of the White Labs Belgian Golden yeast.
