Nick's Tripel
Belgian Tripel • All Grain • 5 gal
I brewed this batch on Halloween 2009, and it is still aging at the moment but from initial samples I think it will turn out well. I mashed at 152 degrees for 1 hour. My OG was 1.081, and FG is 1.011, and it had reached 1.012 after only 3 days. I'll post a review after I try it in a month or 2.
