    Any added fermentables from chai tea at bottling?

    I'm bottling a batch of chai pumpkin ale very shortly, but the chai character is a bit subdued for my liking.

    A belgian stout with T-58?

    I'm looking to make a belgian imperial stout for my 2nd ever brew. I have safbrew T-58 readily available and free, however after a fair amount of searching I cant find evidence of anyone using this yeast for a belgian stout recipe. There is a lot of use of this yeast for other belgian styles...
