Safbrew 058 For a tripel?

[brianroberts]

Ok I've always used Liquid yeast and a starter for my Belgians,but I work out of state and only get home for a couple of days at a time,so I tried this yeast today on a Trippel with a OG of 1.080,I rehydrated 2 packs and pitched at 70 degrees,she's bubbling away 8 hours later.
My questions is will I get decent flavour out of this yeast,it just seems to simple to me.
Also I always start my Trippels out about 70 degrees and than ramp them up a little,will this help with the dry yeast or am I wasting my time?
Thanks for the replies......B......

Personally I'm not a fan of T58 but it will produce a Belgian tasting beer. It's a blanket strain in the widest sense for Belgians and I prefer something closer to the style I'm brewing unless it's 3787 my favorite, still a blanket, but very well rounded IMO.

T58 makes a very good triple. Some People say you can use it for any Belgian style, but I disagree. It's good in Belgian blondes, triples, and BDS. I prefer using liquid with most belgians, but the T58 works well for those styles.
