I'd still consider myself a beginner and I have no idea what I'm doing. I'm looking for anyone's thoughts or seal of approval on a Tripel IPA recipe I put together myself. I had Piraat a few times and loved it, so that's what inspired me to brew a Tripel IPA. This beer isn't a clone though.
Ideally, I would've went with WLP550, but I figured it would be easier to dump 2 packets of T-58 in there rather than use WLP550 and make a starter. One side effect though is that the estimated ABV dropped 1% when I switched to T-58 because it doesn't attenuate as well. So I added another pound of DME.
