I am trying to brew a tripel and have looked at a lot of recipes and I was hoping that I could get some input. I would like to brew a sweet and fruity style Tripel something akin to La Fin Du Monde (who wouldn't?). I have only brewed a couple IPAs and a Honey Lager, all from kits put together by my LHBS. I compiled a lot of recipes and came up with this one, I am unsure if I have made the right ratios.
My current recipe formation is:
8 lbs DME Briess Pilsen
1 lbs Cara Belge
1 lbs Crystal 20
1 lbs Honey (@ 5)
1 lbs Belgian Candi Sugar
1 oz Sweet Orange Peel (@ 10)
.5 oz Coriander (@ 10)
2 oz Hallertau Hops (@ 60, 30, 15, 1)
Whitelabs WLP500 Trappist Ale Yeast (making a wort)
A few questions:
2 oz Hallertau Hops or 1 oz Saaz and 1 oz Hallertau
Also wondering whether to use Honey, Belgian Candi Sugar, and/or table sugar
Other additions: Orange Peels (Bitter vs. Sweet), Apricot Flavoring?
Then there are the choices of Yeast:
Whitelabs WLP500 Trappist Ale Yeast
Wyeast 1214 Belgian Ale Yeast
Wyeast 3787 Trappist High Gravity
Thanks for the input.
