Homebrew Belgian Tripel Final Stats & Review

[@filop2011]

Congratulations on the work you are doing. Great content and high quality, accessible "instructions". Cheers!

[@FloraBrewing]

Much appreciated!

[@mt2inrn]

Back from MT (back to internet, yay?) and discovered this! Props to Sarah for helping me feel a bit more comfortable doing the tasting. Sadly this is the only reminder of the Tripel that remains. This recipe is spectacular...a must do for Belgian fans, you’ll have a smirk on your face the day you realize you have nearly 5 gallons of this in your own home, and your own home is probably a wise place to enjoy this. Thanks Sarah!

[@FloraBrewing]

Can't wait to be back up there!

[@vell0cet517]

One of your best tasting videos. I hope you do more tastings with your friend.

[@FloraBrewing]

I have two more with Sean (the precursor to this one and a super fun one) but I'm back in LA so Jenny is going to be making appearances again soon!

[@HOMEBREW4LIFE]

great video and great audio!

[@chrisparadiso6587]

Just finished this the Tripel recipe and i have to say, although it doesn't taste like your tasting describes, I am very happy with it. It was rough going along the way, but it turned out well. Thank you!!

[@mccl5150]

Did you ferment for two weeks as well? Does it need more hops? She said there was little hop taste.

[@havarfjerdingen1695]

Great video, good flavour and aroma description. I love Belgian beer and this one looks and sounds fantastic.

[@FloraBrewing]

Thanks for watching!

Nice Video. I am currently fermenting a Belgian Chocolate stout with Lallemand Abbaye (the Belgian part of the recipe). Definitely getting the Banana and pear scent coming off on day 3. I was initially going s-33 but wanted it a little more attenuate. Planning to repitch the yeast on a Russian Imperial Stout for long term aging. Beer burnout is definitely a thing I like to rotate beers a lot in an attempt to keep it interesting. From memory legs is from the viscosity of the alcohol.

[@FloraBrewing]

Sounds wonderful! Love a Russian Imperial Stout.

[@DIYTechnician]

Awesome review. Learned some good facts on here too.

[@verzlife]

There is not enough good Belgian Trappist style beers here in the Puget Sound! I have started brewing them from home!!

[@FloraBrewing]

Sound was so good I'm so sad they closed!

[@darrenscott1405]

Great reviews guys. Great ending too 😂😂

[@FloraBrewing]

I facetimed with Sean last night and he's still drinking the Tripel! I don't think there's going to be any left for me when I get back up to WA lol

[@martywessels7697]

If you like Belgian and German style beers I highly recommend Utepils Brewing in Minneapolis! I saw you wear a Wicked Wart shirt in a video, and Utepils is fairly close to there.

[@FloraBrewing]

Hopefully I get a chance to go!

[@Hazy_Fishin]

I’m currently brewing your cherry saison! I think this triple may be on the card soon. Good shit mate, keep it up.

[@FloraBrewing]

I need to rebrew the cherry that stuff is perfect for summer!

[@justinwinslow310]

Just kegged my Witbier! Love the Belgians! I wanna try this one next!

[@FloraBrewing]

You should! I was SO impressed by how it turned out...we had already tasted it the day before we made this video and what you didn't see was me jumping up and down because I was so happy how it turned out

[@justinwinslow310]

@@FloraBrewing i just made a batch of your Guava Pineapple/Pineapple IPA. Will see how it comes out in a month!

[@dimash244]

been planning to make a tripel for a year now :) Got Wyeast 3787 last week, almost ready!

[@FloraBrewing]

It's so rewarding!

[@vikramjitsingh4538]

the beer looks amazing, thx for the vid, cheers

[@FloraBrewing]

Thanks for watching!

I told you, its the water. I have it too. Northeast of Seattle about 35 miles. Well water from about 100'. Love it. Come back.

[@djsomers100]

Ya and we got a few bugs but you learn to love them.

[@FloraBrewing]

I'm back in LA and I'm about to go buy RO water...very sad day

[@djsomers100]

@@FloraBrewing Well glad you enjoyed your time up here and shared with us. About to tap my kegs of Hefeweizen and a Bohemian pilsner. Water made for lagers! Bought a glycol chiller that can handle four cornelius kegs or carboys. Lagering heaven.

[@kellyrick8201]

Great video. Going to go buy a triple here in a bit and try it

[@FloraBrewing]

Careful! They're delicious and will get you trashed haha... Have had a couple terrible hangovers from this one!

[@kellyrick8201]

@@FloraBrewing I just had one. It tasted kind of like a Hefe but better :)

[@donaldmorrill1636]

How close is your tripel to La Fin Du Monde? My home brewery will be finished mid July and I have to brew a Belgian similar for my wife.

[@FloraBrewing]

I would say it's less herbaceous than La Fin but I LOVE that beer and it's not a distant cousin. The yeast is less pronounced in this tripel but if you fermented a little hotter say 72ºF it would probably get more esters that would bring it close.

[@BeerMan421]

you rock! love your channel! I love a good belgian too! big IPA guy though LOL great lookin beer! I like the color of it! pear and banana...yum...perfume yummy! LOL...how was the phenol level in it? Right on! cheers guys!

[@FloraBrewing]

Phenols weren't over the top but def detectable

[@neiljones641]

Love to see you brew some traditional English beers/ales.

[@FloraBrewing]

I'm slowly getting there. Going to have to make a trip to Mcleod down the street to see what style I like best!

[@neiljones641]

@@FloraBrewing Some great beers to choose from, but one of my favourites from yesteryear is a beer called Directors, brewed by the courage brewery. .... Now there's a challenge for you 😉. Oh, and more outtakes please 👍

[@felipesparks5267]

I need a neighbor who wants to brew too! Oh and has a kegerator like him!

[@charleswilt1433]

Drinking my tripel while I watch. Belgian's are the best.

[@FloraBrewing]

Going to go grab some from the store! I have no beer in LA it's so sad!

I got a quick beer education in college..... best line!

IDK how I remembered it haha

[@ericcollaert7449]

I am glad you like us so much :-)

[@FloraBrewing]

You're the best!

[@SyBernot]

What fermentation temp did you run that at?

[@FloraBrewing]

Estimate is 68º but it wasn't controlled, just under the stairs when it was 60º out on average

[@jamesgoacher1606]

Appart from, "it's good" I have never been able to describe beers. I only know that I do not like the orange flavour of some Craft beers I have tasted and not finished. Belgium beer is equal favourite of mine alongside Bass, as it used to be and which I brew a version of often. I enjoyed the video of your double brew day but it does not seem that long ago. Perhaps time flies. If that beer you are sampling now is young then it will get even better. If you can leave it??? :-D :-D Had you been rehersing the tasting prior to the video. You seem to have been enjoying yourself. :-)

[@FloraBrewing]

It usually takes me a week or two to edit a full brew day so the reviews come out pretty soon after :) We were sampling the Belgian Pale we brewed the day right before...that review is coming soon but we split the batch and dry hopped half of it to do a comparison!

[@TheTrueCelt28]

My good ness get that water profile!

[@FloraBrewing]

Yeah going to send it off to Ward labs

[@TheTrueCelt28]

Today I learned the relationships between banana, pear and orange aromas from kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2qWgoqwbdJpo80 (warning it's a bit of a deep dive into chemistry, genetic engineering & general geekery)

oooo putting that in the playlist. I just started listening to the Brulosophy podcast again now that I'm driving all over LA all day
