Ok, I've got what I need to brew this but not 100% on the yeast. It seems some have had good luck with cutivating DT yeast from the bottles, but those threads I've read are several years old and I keep reading and hearing that it is only a bottle priming yeast. I've got some Wyeast 1388 just incase. What is the verdict nowdays cloning this beer? Has anyone recently used bottle cultivated yeast?? I see that some use S-04 with the 1388 which I might try. Any help is appreciated. :mug:
 
Huygue uses WLP570 and S-04, dual-pitched. Here's my recipe which is supposedly from the brewmaster. I've drank a lot of DT in my life and I'd honestly say this is a dead ringer.
 
no bottling strain here. and it's the same yeast for tremens and nocturnum.
I squeezed that bit of info out of the master brewer of Brouwerij Huyghe , when he gave a lecture in our brew club.

BTW I was under the impression its Belgian Ardennes yeast.
 
I changed the hops around some to give it a litte, I think it will be ok. Need to get the starter going tomarrow.

I might go longer than 90 minutes if you are mashing at 146. I just did a 120 minute mash at 148, and got 81% eff. I have never gotten that high doing a bigger beer. efficiency. yeah.

Oh, I have also had good luck adding sugar to primary after the krausen just starts to fall, but still going strong. Boil up the min amount of water to dissolve the sugar, chill, add to the primary and it will dry out nicely. I used Wyeast 3787, and its great, but not DT.

Mine ended up at 1.090, and took a good long time to carb, but its awesome. Me personally would leave the coriander out, but thats personal preference.
