Notes

90 Minute boil. Challenger @ hotbreak. Styrian Goldings, Belgian sweet orange peel and crushed coriander seeds and Irish Moss added at 75 mins. Czeck Saaz and Crushed coriander seeds added at 86 mins. I brewed this and collected too much wort (about 8 gallons). So my O.G. was 1.072 instead of 1.082 like it should have been. Update when fermentation conditioning, and bottling is complete. Tasted great before yeast was pitched.

Let us know how it comes out, I have been working on a Tripel Karmeliet clone for months also, Ill post the recipe later so we can compare. If you want the #'s from Brew Like A Monk: Tripel Karmeliet OG: 1.081 ABV: 8% Apparant Attenuation: 84% IBU: 20 Malts: Pils, Wheat, Malted Oats, unmalted barley, unmalted wheat, unmalted oats Adjuncts: Sucrose Hops: Styrian Goldings, Saaz Two strains of yeast, I think best bet is to bottle harvest. Fermentation; 1 week at 75, Secondary, 4 weeks at 32*.
