Sammy's Sage Trippel
Belgian Tripel • All Grain • 5 gal
Way, way ,way, WAY too much sage. Next try will probably use about 25%of the amount in the present recipe. Came out with nothing but sage smell and taste.

I tried another bottle a few weeks ago and the sage aroma taste has gone down markedly. I was actually able to finish this glass. The first time I tasted it, I could barely finish the sip I took. I think in another 2-3, it should be much better. The underlying beer seemed to come out okay. I was able to taste the beer this time...
Flovor or dry saging?

Hello How do you proceed with Sage? In kettle for 10 minutes or in secondary? Dom
