2.0 oz. (57 g) Victory® malt

Step by Step

Mash at 149 °F (65 °C). Boil for 90 minutes, adding hops, sugar and spice at times indicated. Ferment at 68 °F (20 °C). (New Belgium ferments part of their Trippel with their Belgian yeast and part with a neutral yeast, then blends the beers to get a beer in which the Belgian yeast characteristics are subdued.)
