In theory maybe? It didn't for me. I got a tiny bit of spice in transfer before carbing, but none carried through.
I fermented t-58 alone without hops as a test before I brewed. It tastes nothing like wb-06 at all to me and had spicy character fermented warm.
I'm not saying do as I do. I'm just saying that's how I'll do it for now. I didn't like the flavor of t-58 warm.
Which is what I planned for. I mashed at 157 so my beer would stop at 1.016 - that's what it did.
@ruckusz28 mashed at normal IPA temps and his went down to like 1.009 or something. So I went off his advice and mashed higher.
I was on the fence about the staggered additions, but it sounds like you had great results. I'm going to try the same setup but go with 100 ml each of WB-06 and T-58 at 75F for a day before dropping to 60F and pitching 500 ml of S-04. Definitely mashing around 156-158F. On the fence about natural caring with CBC-1, will have to decide at some point though lol.
