Notes
8/7/2019 - Easy brew day. Chilled wort down to 70 degrees and put the fermenter in a swamp cooler (tub of water with a t-shirt & fan blowing) to keep it a little cooler in the basement.
8/11/2019 - Came home from a trip to the lid being blown off of the fermenter and yeast crusted all over the t-shirt. Cleaned everything up and put on a new lid and airlock. Hopefully this doesn't cause any infection issues. The airlock started bubbling right after I put on the new lid and there was still plenty of activity.
8/?/2019 - Kegged. FG=1.004. Clean flavor & crisp finish. No sign of infection, so that's a good sign.
2/18/2020 - Flavor is very mild and mellow for a Tripel. It has subtle pear and fruit notes, but no spicy phenols due to the lower fermentation temp. I'll probably bottle the rest of this off and see how it ages.
