WILLIAM'S BELGIAN TRIPLE Description
|
|
Belgian Triples can be deceptively smooth and refreshing, with
their strong alcohol content sneaking up on you like a corner on a two lane road
that gets tighter half way through. Our new Belgian Triple is a strong Belgian
Ale with a rich dry estery character that gives some warning of its strength.
Unlike some(almost blonde) commercial examples of this style, our Belgian Triple
is light amber in color, and quite dry in the finish, with the sweetness
balanced as much with an estery yeast flavor as with hops. Alcohol: 7.7%, IBU’s
30
Includes 12 pounds of German extract and pale beet sugar, flavoring and
aromatic hops, 125 ml of liquid ale yeast, and corn sugar for carbonation. Makes
5 gallons with a starting gravity of at least 1.083 Ease of Brewing:
Beginner
Save a lot of money. Belgian ales of this strength and quality sell for $8.00 and up per 24 ounce bottle in a liquor store. You can brew the equivalent of 24 twenty four ounce bottles of William's Belgian Triple for around $2.00 a bottle!

Pros:
|
Outstanding...Heaven in a $2 bottle. This kit pays for itself in savings over the local liquor store. (2 each weekend x $6/bottle savings x 4 weekends) = $48.00!!!

Cons:

I'm certain you can't, or won't, do this....but I'll suggest it anyway. BUY 2 KITS, put one away like you're aging wine. I found one in my garage that I had put there to drink, and forgot, a year and a half ago. OMG! Liquid crack cocaine! My wife doesn't drink beer an I had to wrestle her for it. After 3 weeks, this beer rates a 9.5...after significant aging, to rate it on a 1-10 scale would be an affront to the beer. One of the top 2 beers I've had in my 53 years. I'm not kidding...and I drink a LOT of beer!
