Trois Feuille D'or - Belgian Tripel


6# Pilsen DME
2# Light Candi Sugar
8 oz Breiss Bavarian Wheat Blend

1# US 2-row pale
1# Belgian 2-row
8 oz Honey malt

90 min boil.

1.6 oz Styrian Golding (60 min) 4.5%

Sachet containing
1/2 oz dry ginger (15)
1/2 oz fresh grated ginger (15)
zest of 2 oranges (15)
1/2 oz corriander (15)
8 rosemary leaves (15)
2 mint leaves (15)

.5 oz Saaz (2) 4%

WLP 550

Notes - Lot of banana and ginger. Sweet, but not cloying. Combination of fresh and dried ginger adds some depth. Make sure to rouse the yeast daily to make sure fermentation finishes. Yeast tends to go dormant easily.

OG and FG unknown, hydrometer was broken at the time.
