Belgian Stout

[stakka82]

Hi all

So I have this pack of T 58 that's been sitting in the fridge for like a year, and I also want to brew something dark to bottle for the winter months. So I'm thinking belgian stout.

There's not a lot of info out there, or a lot of recipes - what have people had success with and how will T58 suit such a brew? How should I run the yeast, cooler or warmer? Some recommendations floating around to run it low to keep the phenolics in check.

Cheers

I've used T58 numerous times and I think I am finally cured of it. The only decent dry Belgian yeast I've used was the kit yeast from a brewferm tin. That was good stuff!

T58 throws loads of banana and clove and pepper when fermented too warm so keeping it lower temp 17℃ or so has worked better for me.
