The Trippel has been in Ellie's closet for 6 weeks now. I kept hoping that the longer it was there the better it would smell. Again it doesn't taste bad. It just smells bad.
Tom put his nose in it and said it wasn't bad. It was simply very yeasty. He suggested buying some hops and shoving it in. Dry hop it. Eureka! Great idea.
I bought 2oz of whole Sterling hops (7.0% AA). Why Sterling? Why not! I put about 1/3 of an ounce in and called it good. I intend to bottle it this weekend.
For the record the hops smelled woody. Earthy. Not citrusy. Not strong either.
