Honey Lemon Belgium Tripel

The only thing I see is the amount of sugars that you are using. Between the Belgian candy sugar and the honey, this makes up about 25% of the fermentables. I try not to go above about 10-15% for sugars. With high percentages of sugars, I have found sometimes a more distinct alcohol taste.

Other recipes I have seen or used for a Tripel have had a range of 5-15% sugar.
 
Thanks Bubba.
I've adjusted the percentage of sugars down to c.16% and increased the amount of base Pilsner malt.

I've read elsewhere that up to 20% of sugars is ok in a Tripel but didn't realise I had gone over even this. Thanks for pointing it out!!
