Well, I've got the yeast growing up in a little starter, so I'll eventually try to figure something out. |

I too was hoping someone would answer your question. I am interested in how it turns out for you. Let us know. |

Brewed with only one malt (pils) and three hops (Saaz, Styrian Goldings and Magnum) |

JB, can we assume Magnum for bittering, Styrian Goldings for flavor and Saaz for aroma? |

Presumably. It was just info found on the web. I've not seen the beer before but now I am very intrigued. I love the combo of Saaz and Styrian. I use it, along with goldings in my Wimperial IPA. |

JB, that beer is amazing. It's great in the bottle, but a total revelation on tap.
The information about the beer varies depending on source. I've read that it's got 100 IBUs, 80 IBUs, and that it's 9.5% or 8.7% or 8%. It could be because they just aren't particularly consistent, or it could be typical Belgian(ish) brewer moves: just make up a number when they ask.
I guess I'm less interested in a clone than figuring out how they get the balance right. Every time I've tried to make a very hoppy tripel, either the hops get drowned out by the yeast, or the interaction between yeast and hops is... weird. Now that I have their yeast, I'll play around with it and see where it goes. |

Cool, JB! Let me know what you think of it.
Since that starter is now at the 200 mL size, I can really get a sense of what it smells like. Seems like a lot of the spicy/lemon/herbal character might be coming from the yeast. If this yeast leaves that kind of flavor profile, then it may become my favorite yeast. |

Destroyer, are you growing it up from the bottle? |

I don't have anything to add as far as the recipe goes but another awesome trippel IPA is Houblon Chouffe Dobbelen IPA Trippel. It showed up on tap at one of the local watering holes and was great.

From one magnum bottle, Jolly. I pitched the dregs into something like 30mL, then upped it to 200. Next I'll pitch it into 1L and evaluate the health and taste characteristics of the culture. It seems healthy so far. |

I pitched the yeast into a 1.3L starter on Friday night, about midnight. By Sunday morning, it had already finished fermenting out the starter. I'd say the culture was healthy! So now I just have to figure out the hop bill. |
