I am not foolish enough to use dry yeast instead of liquid.

OK, I pitched yesterday at about 5 pm and had three inches of krausen in both carboys when I got up at 3 am to check on things. I am a believer so far. Smells great. I made five pounds of amber candi sugar (inverted with citric acid) and put in this tripel. My OG was a little wimpy so hopefully the yeasts can make up for that with a good ferment and a low FG...

Cheers!
