I found two sources online that told me otherwise...I really hope this isn't true, I fed that thing four times and spent a week making it! Hmm...If it is true I don't know what I'll do...but I was going to make a big Cal Ale V starter to refeed my barleywine, maybe I'll do a "house blend" of yeast cultures...

It's still gonna be a Belgian Yeast, and it will Taste like GD....but it won't be dead on to the strain...it should be fine.

Are you sure it'll be a Belgian strain?

I would smell your starter. A lot of times they'll use something else, something that ferments totally clean like a champagne yeast or even a neutral beer yeast so the profile of the original isn't effected.

Well...it will be a strain of yeast, put into a beer in belgium so technically it will be a Belgian strain....

I'd still use the starter you made Terrapin....

No other choice at this point, unless I run to LHBS and buy about three vials of something else...

Well, what does your starter smell like?

I also have a starter of G.D. and of Piraat, but with the expensive grain bill I decided to use WLP500. I used WLP500 in my Piraat clone. I love Gulden Draak, but Piraat had a little more complex flavor. I hope you get the spiciness that the right yeast imparts. The first few weeks of tasting was "Damn I HATE banana beer." After a couple weeks the banana went away to be replaced by spicy, green apple complexity. Now I'm dying to drink some good hi grav beer. Only 6-10 months to wait.

Your brew specs look pretty good. If the yeast pans out you should have a tasty brew. Give it some extra time if you don't like it at first. I've noticed the Belgian yeasts change flavor more than other strains.
