Hi All,
I brewed up a clone of the DogfishHead Raison D'Etre, from the recipe in Radical Brewing. However, my LHBS did not have the Wyeast strain 3522 that was called for. Oh, well, what the heck, how about another Belgian strain? So I picked up Wyeast's 1214 instead.
Question: What can I expect here? Am I making something completely different from what's intended? Or will it still likely be reminiscent of the Raison D'Etre? I really haven't understood yeast at all, except that there's a difference between ale and lager.
Thanks for any advice.
