I was looking around the Mr Beer website, searching for recipes that use Canadian Blond and Saaz hops. I came across Amberosia Tripel.
It sounds yummy, A cornucopia of fruit, spice and caramel malt, with a little licorice and peat in the background. A tripel such as this could be what they were partaking of on Olympus in ancient times. Ye Gods, it is simply divine!

It uses the Canadian Blonde extract and 1 Can Grand Bohemian Czech Pilsner Brewing Extract, and Safbrew T-58 Dry Yeast.
I could get me some Briess CBW Pilsen DME and toss it in with the Canadian Blonde, with some Sterling hops, (looks like the Czech Pilsner Brewing Extract is brewed already with the Saaz hops).
Not sure about adding the 1 cup of granulated sugar though, an extra cup of CBW Pilsen DME sounds better to me.
...So I pulled the hop bag out this afternoon and started to cold crash it, (in the fermenter for three weeks), and I noticed what looked like a ring of slime in the wort.😣 Googled and read about infected beers, then sour beers.etc.😕 I just checked it again before posting a picture of the "slime ring", and I realized the ring is just the reflection of the flashlight beam, in the shape of a circle...😂 doh (insert Homer Simpson face palm GIF here).
Now I just have to wait three to six months to condition as per Mr Beer's instructions...
With the estimated ABV of 9.4℅, (Biermacht app), I can't wait.🍺
