Hi, A friend is brewing a tripel and was wondering if anyone has a suggestion on decent online articles related to trying to approximate a good belgian style tripel?
Anyone want to suggest a good online homebrew shop too?
All info much appreciated.
John
What recipe is your friend using? Is it E/EG/PM/ or AG? Is there a certain Tripel you wanted to match?
Let us know and good luck, Wild
80% pils malt, 20% cane sugar (yes, cane sugar. Don't let all the myths about sugar usage scare you off). Hop with noble hops to about 28-30 IBU. Ferment with WY3787 Westmalle yeast, starting at 64F and letting the temp rise to 68F by the end of fermentation. I took these suggestions from Brew LIke A Monk and have made several batches now that are VERY close to Westmalle tripel.

thanks, and thanks to all who helped with the info on the tripel for my friend. He is out in the field training to go to afghanistan so I havent heard back from him, but I know he appreciates the help.
