Product Details

Brew this classic beer style at home in about five gallons. This Belgian Tripel recipe kit comes with every pre-measured ingredient you need to brew

Brew this classic beer style at home in about five gallons. This Belgian Tripel recipe kit comes with every pre-measured ingredient you need to brew Martin's Belgian Tripel, a 5-gallon all-grain batch, from grain to glass.

Westmalle gave the tripel its template in the 1930s, and the name has stuck to a very particular trick: a beer that looks like a pale golden ale but carries the strength of something much heavier. Pilsner malt and a dose of candi sugar keep it light in body while the gravity climbs.

The result is deceptive. It pours pale gold under a dense head, tastes of spice, orchard fruit, and a firm hop presence, and finishes dry despite nearly nine percent alcohol. The warmth is there, folded into a beer that drinks far more easily than it should.

A Note On Substitutions

  • This kit is built for brew-in-a-bag (BIAB), the simplest way to make all-grain beer at home. The basic brew day looks like this:

    1. Heat your water and steep the milled grain to make wort.
    2. Boil the wort, adding the hops on the schedule in the recipe.
    3. Cool the wort down quickly, then transfer it to your fermenter.
    4. Pitch the yeast and let it ferment for about two weeks.
    5. Bottle or keg, wait for carbonation, then enjoy.

    That yields roughly 53 bottles of fresh Belgian Tripel. It works great with our digital electric homebrew systems, which hold your temperatures for you, though any kettle and burner will do.

  • This is a recipe kit, so it includes the ingredients only. To brew it at home you will also need:

    • A brew kettle or an electric all-in-one brewing system
    • A grain bag for brew-in-a-bag (or a mash tun for a traditional mash)
    • A fermenter with an airlock
    • A thermometer and a way to chill the wort
    • Sanitizer, and bottles or a keg for packaging
