Sorry I haven't updated on this. Yes of course there are a huge variety of Belgian ales and me saying "I don't like Belgians" is probably just showing my ignorance about it.
So yes, I brewed the beer and followed recommendations mentioned above but did a last minute change. I wanted the outcome to be "as clean as possible" (whatever that means) but still with a recognisable Belgian character (also, whatever that means.... I guess it's just something I define as Belgian in my mind). It might be a blasphemy but I first pitched with a package of US05 and when I noticed things started to kick off I added a SNS of WY1762.
The outcome was pretty good, it's my best attempt of something Belgian so far and good enough for me to want to give it a new try and with some further tweaks. I appreciate all your inputs!
