Notes
For a Belgian tripel, Mangrove Jack's M31 is a strong dry pick. It attenuates 82 to 88% for the dry, deceptively drinkable finish a tripel needs and throws a heavily fruity aroma married with light spice.
Ferment warm and feed it well, because a tripel starts from a high-gravity wort and the yeast has to finish it dry. Under-pitching or starving it leaves a sweet, heavy beer the style should never be.
