I love the clean crisp taste that you get with the malt bill and the slight black pepper like quality you get from the Belgian yeast. I might revisit this recipe and age it out for a while. @Dylan:

Because we’re not near that goal, we want to try and buy from local growers and/or suppliers. Here in Albuquerque, we were told to go to Victor’s Grape Arbor. They have quite a bit on hand, nice and helpful staff and the prices don’t seem extravagant. Because I loved our first brew, we searched online and found this tripel recipe.

I like to do that so that if I have to increase my mash temp I have some wiggle room and I don't dilute my mash too much. I think I collected about 4 gallons from that mash, then I topped off the mash with another 5 gallons of water and collected another 5 gallons wort. SO I had about 9 gallons preboil volume... I can't remember my gravity at that point. I'd have to check my notes. Crystal and Mt. Hood???? Well if those are the only hops you can get they will have to work right? While not traditional, if they taste good to you in other beers I would say used them. I have little experience with Mt. Hood and none with crystal.

Is that 5 gallons for the entire mash? Sorry if it's a dumb question, I have only done extract brewing so far. Also, do you think this would work with Mt. Hood and Crystal hops?
