Brewing tips:
Might plan on giving it a little more time than stated in the directions. I'd move it to the secondary fermenter after a week then just forget about it for a while. Tends to stick at 1.030, aerate it and bring it to a warmer place for the final week. Use as a base for Cherry Kriek... This beer is splendid!

he term Tripel comes from the Low Countries (now Netherlands and Belgium). The term refers to the amount of Malt used to make the beer. A "Tripel" is made with (wait for it) three times the fermentables and therefore the outcome is a higher ABV. So roughly a single would be 3% abv, a dubbel 6% abv and the triple 9% abv.

n 1933, the Brothers at Westmalle released a beer under the name "Superbier". It was a strong blonde ale and was very likely based on a blonde beer the monks had been brewing sporadically for years. In 1956, the recipe was modified by the head brewer of Westmalle, Brother Thomas, by the addition of more hops and it was given the name name Tripel. It has remained essentially unchanged since that time. Tim Webb in his "Good Beer Guide to Belgium" says that some of the pre-1956 beers called Tripel were dark, in contrast to modern beers which are golden.
