    Hi all,
    I know that some Belgian beers use yeasts that cause sourness and can require their own brewing equipment to avoid contamination, but is that the case for all Belgian beers? Would a dubbel or tripel carry the same warnings?

    Many thanks,
    RN

    No, its only the sours or lambics that would cause this. Any dubbel, or tripel would be the same as brewing a standard ale.

    Yesterday I started my first homebrew, a basic coopers kit for a Canadian Blonde. I hope to some day have the equipment and knowledge to be able to brew my own Belgian style tripels and quads, those are my favourite beers. Keep us posted on how you get on if you go ahead with a Belgian brew!

    There are plenty of decent Belgian style kits on the market. The method is pretty much the same as the Canadian Blonde, and the results will be much better. Blonde ales are difficult to brew, tripels aren't.

    Thanks for that, I'll definitely look into a Belgian kit. I had to choose from the limited options on the starter package on HBW so I went for the Canadian blonde. So far so good, fermenting happily on day 3.

    Apologies for not getting back to this thread.
    I brewed the Brewferm Belgian Triple and it was quite good. Drank a few bottles of it too early and have a few stored away for a few months and will try them after the summer.

    As was posted above, same method as the above kits.
