I am getting ready to make a Duvel clone, and the recipe calls for a 3 quart yeast starter. I have a pack of Wyeast 1388 liquid yeast. I have Palmer's book How to Brew. He says to use 2 cups of water and 0.5 cups of DME to make a yeast starter. This won't make anywhere near 3 quarts of...

Also, I'm drinking a Duvel right now, and I swear I taste a faint acidic/sour taste reminiscent of a lambic or Flemish sour ale. However, lactobacilli aren't listed in the clone recipe. Does anyone know if lactobacilli are used in Duvel?

Thanks for the heads up! I guess there's little point in harvesting the yeast if they use a different strain for bottling. How did your ale turn out with the WLP 570?

Does anyone have any advice for this?

Definitely let me know how your dunkel turns out.

I am wanting to make a Dunkelweizen using extract brewing. The closest thing I've found is the clone recipe for Schneider Weisse in BYO's 250 Classic Clone Recipes. There is an all-grain and an extract version of the recipe. The all-grain recipe consists of: 7.4 lbs Weyermann pale wheat malt...
