I have to say i frickin love this beer, this is one of my best made beers to date and to TDA i say thankyou, Obviously the alcohol content has snuck up on me tonight but i am most pleased with the results oooohhh. This was my first foray into belgium land and i like this version much better than the Leffe TOP recipe , i used 3787 yeast (what i had) and fermented around 22 degrees would have liked to finish a bit warmer but it still turned out sensational . Liver is not happy but i will sleep well tonight.

Cheers TDA
will be a house fav beer for sure

That's a pretty fair recommendation knowing your love of Belgians bulp. Might have to go "On the List" :lol:

Well done bulp, another Wyeast 3787 convert, as I posted in this thread last year it is almost the same recipe as one I do, BUT I now use Cararoma in place of Caraamber and Melanoidin [I also have a love for Wyeast 1214 which I have kept quiet h34r: ]
Again well done.


Edit: Fat finger typo

Hey bulp, that's fantastic to hear that you are happy with how yours has turned out.
That's made me pretty happy on this miserably hot day here in Adelaide :beer:

I have tried this as made by the the arab and agree it is a great drop.

 

[fraser_john]

Sipping on Bulps version of it now! Nice job, excellent ale.

I would like to do a partial of this and was thinking the following - note that I've added in fuggles to cover the fact that the styrian goldings are only about 2%AA. Does this look alright?

Hi,
Normaly,We dont have liquid yeast in Brazil, only dry...Anybody informe to me what the dry yeast we can use for this recipe ?
Thanks,
samuel

 

[brettprevans]

its ridiculous that you cant get liquid yeast.

fermentis safbrew t-58 is about all i can think of.

Earlier in the thread someone mentions using two packs of s33 and getting good result.
As mentioned above t58 would be another good option...

I just mashed in a version of this recipe, but with slightly different malt ratios as I'm using up what's in the malt bins:

4000 BB Galaxy
500 Munich II
200 Melanoidin

66 degrees 60 mins

80g Chinese Saaz 90 mins
2 plugs Styrian Goldings 10 mins

600 of da sugaz, I'd still like a strongish beer despite using less grain

T-58, both sides of the twin pack from Craftbrewer. They accidentally sent me this instead of the US-05 so that's why I'm attempting my first Belgian. I'm going to bottle this batch and keep it for a while, not keg, and drink it out of my Leffe Glass .

Bribie... How did this end up? I'm looking to do a bottle conditioned Belgian shortly. Was going to give this thing a try. Not sure a 7+% beer would be good for me on tap.

 

[WeaselEstateBrewery]

Has anyone tried this with 1214?

 

[[email protected]]

Trying this now, but differences are, dropped pale malt to 4.5kg, added 0.4kg of wheat and replaced cane sugar with .5kg candi sugar and fermenting with a yeast from a chimay blue. I have no saaz so I will have to see what I can replace it with, I have EKG, Fuggles, Cascade and Styrian Goldings, any imput?

Styrian Goldings should be OK.

Cheers, I was thinking the same.

 

[Lord Raja Goomba I]

Dry yeast equivalent from CB?

Weizen
Belgian
German Ale

Which would work the best as a replacement for the wet yeast?

Goomba

Rave from the grave - sorry I missed that one. For the first week out of the keg it was a brilliant beer and I decided it would become a "house beer" - but it started to develop a strange twang a bit like trough lollies :unsure: which I put down to that T-58 and haven't gone back to Belgians since. Can still taste it, shudder. I don't like spiced/sour/smoked beers and this had got into that territory.

 

[NDH]

BIAB'd this one a couple of weeks ago and used the Leuven Pale smack pack. Just crash chilling now but from the gravity sample it tastes very much like a light bodied Hefe. I did get average efficiency and had an OG around 1052 but it fermented right down to 1008. Not an unpleasant beer but not quite the flavour I was expecting, I guess the yeast does drive the flavor with this style so you're going to get different results with different yeasts. Will wait to see what it ends up like after some time in the keg.

Wanna brew this on the weekend. Got 3787 yeast but don't have any Saaz.

I have green bullet and hallertau hops. Should i just use green bullet (styrian sub) for 60 and 15 or use the hallertau for the 15 addition?

 

[Bribie G]

Murphy's - :blink: I was all over Burpengary like a rash this afternoon. I've got 30 of Saaz I won't be using in the forseeable, you are welcome to it gratis. Can meet you somewhere on Friday on the way down to work at around 1.30 pm (BP Southbound whatever) if it's worth your time.

Cheers.
