Single step Infusion at 151°F for 60 Minutes.
Fermented at 68°F with Belgian Strong Ale Yeast WLP545
Somewhat basing this off of Northern Brewer's HoublonMonstre and BYO's Saison Vapeur. More or less using the Saison Vapeur's grain bill increased to be a tripel and Houblonmonstre's hop schedule. I'm swapping out the Cascade wit El Dorado because I already have the El Dorado in the freezer, will be moving in a couple weeks, and want to use them so they don't go through a bunch of temp changes during the move.
WLP545 has been very attenuative for me, so this might finish lower than 1.011, but using the specialty grains instead of just base Pale or Pilsner malt make retain a little sweetness, not out of the norm for a tripel so I think it will work. I'm also, going with the 545 because I have it in the fridge and have liked it in a couple other brews I've made.
