WLP570 Belgian Golden Ale Yeast
From East Flanders, versatile yeast that can produce light Belgian ales to high gravity Belgian beers (12% ABV). A combination of fruitiness and phenolic characteristics dominate the flavor profile. Some sulfur is produced during fermentation, which will dissipate following the end of fermentation.
Attenuation: 73-78%
Flocculation: Low
Optimum Fermentation Temperature: 68-75°F
Alcohol Tolerance: High
There are "unibroue" yeast clones out there, but they are seasonal. This yeast seemed like a pretty good match for what I was shooting for.
I made monster sized variant of this beer that recently scored a 40,42,44 at the AHA October National Club only Competition in Michigan, and won a gold medal at the Belgian table at 2008 splitrock beer festival.

I have all of the stuff for this EXCEPT the anise spice. They have the anise stars and the anise seeds at my local. Are those close?

i'm going to try this one. any changes you would recommend after doing that batch?
man... I have some I brewed up this spring. I just put a impy porter on tap... all this talk about pistoles makes me wanna bust that out instead!! MUST. WAIT. UNTIL. WINTERRRRRrrrrr!!!
I brewed sirsloop's recipe for Quad Pistoles 2 days ago and it looks epic. However I forgot to add orange peel, do you think I should throw some in the primary after it's done fermenting?
Also, how much corn sugar did you use for priming?
