Brewed this about 3 weeks ago, asked about using Safbrew's T58 dried yeast then. Cracked open a bottle yesterday (realising it would be very undercarbonated but I wanted to try it) and it was so tasty. Slight banana notes, very light, tasted like a Belgian beer to me so that's all good...

Cool, cheers. With regards to dry hopping, how do you think I should go about that? Do they go in the fermenter a few days in?

Added ingredients and predicted OG

Ah yes of course, forgot about OG affecting hop additions. Will post the recipe I'm planning a bit later. Thanks for the initial advice though

Hi there, planning on making a red in colour, American style ale, so I've got some cascade and chinook hops, plus I have a few other varieties (that are mostly English/ not very much left) left over. I can have a rummage for them later and let you guys know if you think they'd be any use. I'm...

Hmm, ok then, cheers guys. Might stick with it and see how things go. There could be worse things than a not too flavourful trippel, haha. Only making a smaller batch so may try it again with the proper yeast if it's not satisfying enough ! EDIT: Just to be clear I'm subbing for the T-58...

That seems like the general consensus I've got from other people. We'll see how it goes. A strong refreshing but not too complex kind of Trippel will work for me haha

Planning on brewing 3 gallons of this using the AG version with boil in a bag method. Also planning on using dried yeast Safbrew T-58 instead of the liquid yeast suggested. Any tips, advice, etc in advance that anyone could share? Cheers

Cool, was planning on rehydrating them, thanks

Ok, cheers. One pack it is :)

Hi there, I'm planning on using a Safbrew T-58 beer yeast for following this recipe: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f73/belgian-trippel-2006-world-beer-cup-gold-medal-dragonmead-final-absolution-clone-137219/ I realise that the liquid yeast they mention would be best, but that dried yeast is so...

Hey guys, just thought I'd keep you updated on the beer. I'm really happy with it! I bottled it in my ibrew tap-a-draft set and it's unbelievably clear, with good head retention too. Shouldve made some more! So for my next batch I was thinking a hoppy pale ale, perhaps a single hopped one...

OK cool, cheers guys!

For some filtering material to cover the end of the syphon, do you think a coffee filter would work OK or would that be too fine?

I'm a bit too young for these haha. Btw, if there's any bits of grain left in the fermenter that slipped through the bag they should eventually sink to the bottom right? Would it be best to rack to a secondary to remove them or just wait a fair while?

Ah cool, straining it sounds like a good idea. I'll keep an eye out for other bags as well.

Thanks for the welcome and advice guys! Yeah I should have said, I'm not up to proper all grain; use boil in a bag too as I got a 3 in 1 mash run, boiler and fermenter as a starting point into making the leap to the proper method. Fermenter is currently bubbling away so that's reassuring haha...

Hi to anyone reading this! I'm a novice brewer and just found this forum so thought it'd be good to get in with a community. I'm a biochemistry student at the Uni of Sheffield and having lived here for a few years now I've been inspired by the fantastic range of pubs and beers this city has...
