Discussion
Did two different batches
2010-02-06 11:06am
One batch was a straight tripel, and took first place in a local competition in the Belgian category. The other batch, I aged an extra 4 months, adding a of a bottle (12 oz) of Lindman's Raspberry Framboise to five gallons. After three more months of aging, it is extraordinary. It is hard to tell it is over 9% alcohol. Truly unique belgian, well balanced with the subtle raspberry. I cannot recommend this enough (it just takes patience - lots of patience.)

Did you age the two batches in carboys, kegs, or in the case of the straight batch - bottles?

Both batches were aged in carboys. The raspberry added batch has also bottle conditioned for six weeks.

Did you think about using the Wyeast 3787 Trappist High Gravity?
