    question on the differences between tripels and dubbels

    I recently brewed northern brewer's tripel extract recipe. It tastes much more like a dubbel than a tripel and I'm trying to figure out why. I have a few ideas though, our fermentation stalled a little bit with a FG of 1.020 (OG 1.074) which was likely caused from bad yeast choice (wyeast 3787...

    Question about a high gravity reading after 5 weeks

    Hello, I recently have been brewing a triple: https://www.northernbrewer.com/products/belgian-tripel-extract-kit. Brewing day was around 5 weeks ago. I used the wyeast 3787 with an OG of 1.072.

    Had the bottle conditioning on its side, Is this all yeast of something else?

    Sorry if the image is a bit big, I compressed it down and its still massive lol FYI this is my first home brew ever so I’m very new to this. Also I now know it’s not recommended to bottle condition on the bottles side. We did use a secondary fermenter and it came out quite clean, so I’m shocked...

    First time brewing how do I prime with belgian candi sugar?

    Hello, I'm about to start bottling my first ever homebrew, and am brewing a Belgian style dark saison. I thought it would be fitting to prime the bottles with Belgian candy sugar, and on northern brewer's website they have a nice calculator that says how much to use. Homebrew Priming Sugar...
