Thankfully Home Brew Ohio sent me the ingredients to make a Belgian Tripel that is going to blow our socks off. This thing made it way above our estimates on OG. While we were dealing with this whale of a beer we decided, “screw it, let’s make that Belgian Pale we drank 4 gallons of in a week!”. I can’t wait to sample both of these. My neighbor, Sean, is obsessed with Belgians and he’s bringing me into the fold. Something about how sweet and fruity these beers are really lends itself to the rainy chilly weather of WA.
