How did your friend 'run the numbers'? Does he/she work in a lab?
That is a low FG. Unfortunately I've never had a Piraat ...but it's near the top of the list.

That's pretty cool. Thanks for sharing. I haven't had Piraat in a few years, but I know I like it. Those Belgians are crazy with their 90+% attenuation.
Good job! now we have something real to work with. I know they use different yeast for primary and conditioning, is there a way your friend can determine the primary yeast?

I really wish he could. The Flanders Golden from Wyeast this last VSS was rumored to be the primary yeast. Other than that.....your guess.
You are right about the 2 yeasts. One for primary and the second for bottling. At least that is what the brewery sent me when I wrote them.

First of all I would like to thank you for your interest. But I will not be able to help you. From the side of the board of directors of our brewery it’s forbidden to pass on a detail of the ingredients list.
Because this is the secret of the beer.
Sorry that I may not help you.
Best regards
Jef
p.s we use for all the beers different yeast. We have 3 different types of yeast for the high fermentation and we have 6 different yeast types for the refermentation.
