Ross.
This recipe come out quite nice when I did it. It tasted fairly similar to Chimay Blue
2 points.
If you have trouble sourcing Chinese Yellow Lump Sugar (I found it at Coles New World) just use raw sugar which IMO would be fairly similar. Even Amber Candi sugar would be good.
Yeast choice while it does not appear ideal worked extremely well on this beer. Feel free to substitute it for one more to your liking though. I fermented at about 18-20 degrees. Try and bottle age for at least 3 months before sampling.
Hope this helps.
