Taste Notes
Honey batch tastes better than sugar, but both are very good! I think I'll leave out the anise next time, but the flavor is integrating/improving after a few months.Notes
This is based on a Karmeliet Tripel clone recipe.
This is my 40th home brew batch.
Split this batch - added 8.0 oz sugar to one batch after 2 days fermentation, 8.0 oz honey to the other batch. If brewing this, I recommend using 1 lb Orange Blossom honey for this size batch. I just added to carboy without stirring - yeasties will find all those sugars!
Bottled 9/27. Used 1 tsp sugar per 12oz bottle. Submitted entry of honey batch to Nordeast Brew Competition where it won a 3rd place in 18-Belgian Stong Ale.
brewer's rating
by mcaron45Ok, I'm biased, but this is good and got 3rd place (out of 9 entries) in competition.
