Good Recipe

Posted by Phil on 14th Jun 2011

This was my first all grain brew, and my first brew of any sort. The ingredients themselves seem top notch but the beer didn't turn out perfect (as expected). I really like the Trappist yeast that came with the kit, it seems quite accurate and it really has that banana/fruity smell that good tripels always have. I kind of wish that belgian candi sugar/syrup came with the kit instead of the corn sugar - just to fit the style better. Also, the guys at Rebel helped me out a lot over the phone/email in getting the recipe all figured out (this was my first brew and all...) I've been letting about 5 bombers age in the dark for nearly 3 and a half months and they are only getting tastier.
