T-58 seems to be a love it or hate it yeast, but I wont know which side of the fence Im on until I use it myself. I would like to brew a simple 5%-ish beer and I am wondering if this yeast would be more suited to a Belgian pale ale or a lower gravity blonde?
Using the ingredients I have on hand, the recipes would be approximately:
BPA
80% Pils
15% Munich 1
5% CaraAmber
1.050 and 25 IBU
Blonde
80% Pils
10% Wheat
10% Sugar
1.050 and 20 IBU
In each case the bitterness would come from a single addition of Tettnang (or maybe some EKG if Ive got some left) and I intend to pitch at around 18 degrees and let the yeast bring the temperature up to 22 or 24.
Any thoughts on either of these or which style would best suit the yeast?
