Well Denny you were right. The Corsendonk clone from "beer captured" doesnt taste anything like the belgian bottled version from the store. Although I must admit, it is an easy drinking, flavorful, light bodied beer.

Hi Denny, The recipe came from the book called "beer captured" I got the book for an x-mas gift last year. I haven't heard much good about the recipes in the book but I thought that I would give one of them a try and see if it pans out. I'll have to let you know.

Just as I suspected, my tripple was about to blow its top(airlock clogged) and I got the blow off tube on just in time...a lesson well learned |

Last night after work I brewed another Belgian Tripple. Its supposed to come out similar to Corsendonk Pale Ale. It was my first time using corriander seeds, bitter and sweet orange peel. I racked it on top of a Wyeast 1214 yeast cake from a prior batch. The airlock had pressure in about an hour and 2 hours later it was bubbling nicely. I dont have a blow off tube, so I guess Im gonna have to keep a good eye on it. Going to the Weyerbaucher brewery (Easton P.A.)this afternoon for a brewery tour
Should prove to be interesting. |

I brewed my 1st Belgian tripple last Saturday. It was an extract kit from Keystone home brew. Everything seemed to go well, but my fermentation temps were up and down. It started out at about 78Deg for 6 hours or so and then went down to 65 after I moved the pail into the garage. Its Thursday now and all bubbling in the airlock has stopped. I figure that Ill leave it in the fermenter for a full 2 weeks before moving it into a secondary pail for 7 days or so. The kit came with 2 grams of Paradise seeds, yet the recipe didnt say how much to use. The package that the seeds came in said to use sparingly so I only used 1 gram after I cracked the seeds the best that I could.I put the seeds in a grain sock, Im not sure if I should have dont it that way or put them directly into the boil. Im going to save about a spoon full of the yeast cake and stir it into the bottling bucket when im ready to bottle. Hopefully this beer will carb better than the last batch that I brewed. Im not sure how long to let it bottle condition before drinking, maybe someone here at the forum will have some experience with tripples and chime in. It was fermented with Wyeast 1214
Cheers, Eric |
