Belgian Tripel Extract Beer Recipe Kit
Product details
The next step up from Dubbel in the monastic beer classification, Tripel is higher in alcohol than Dubbel but is actually lighter in color and body. The addition of clear candi sugar dilutes the malt bill, which helps preserve the golden color and makes the body deceptively light for a beer of this strength. Spicy and fruity with a gentle sweetness and hints of alcohol throughout leading to a dry and mildly bitter finish.
Due to the high starting gravity of this kit, we recommend pitching multiple packs of yeast or preparing a yeast starter for best results.

Customer Reviews
I tried this hoping to emulate a popular Tripel I can buy locally. It's not that beer, but it may be better. It definitely matches the style, but it has flavor and character well above my expectations. I used BE-256 and ran just a little warm with some US-05 after 2 weeks to finish up and hopefully have something more lively for bottling (8.2% final). Bottle carbonating has taken a few days more than I'm used to, but since I also used Brewzyme-D it's already amazing. I'll definitely make this one again.
This did turn out quite a bit darker than pictured on the store page, but I read that this is common with extract kits due to the Maillard reaction during the boil
The directions provided with the kit are pretty straightforward and easy to follow. I brewed this kits a couple weeks ago and just moved it to the secondary fermenter to clear. Planning to bottle condition this batch, can't wait till it's ready!
Havent brewed this batch. Yet
This kit really bubbled up. Fermentation went fast. Now in the conditioning in second bucket. Hope to bottle in 2 weeks.
I've already tried a few bottles. The recommended fermentation period is about 3 months so be prepared to wait. Tastes great. I added the Crystalized Orange at the start of fermentation and orange zest during secondary fermentation. Orange flavor is coming through.
