WLP570 Belgian Golden Ale Yeast
From East Flanders, versatile yeast that can produce light Belgian ales to high gravity Belgian beers (12% ABV). A combination of fruitiness and phenolic characteristics dominate the flavor profile. Some sulfur is produced during fermentation, which will dissipate following the end of fermentation.
Attenuation: 73-78%
Flocculation: Low
Optimum Fermentation Temperature: 68-75°F
Alcohol Tolerance: High

There are "unibroue" yeast clones out there, but they are seasonal. This yeast seemed like a pretty good match for what I was shooting for.

So is that a 2 gallon recipe or a 5 gallon recipe?


I loooove trois pistoles.

Its a 5 gallon recipe with a partial boil. I included the initial boil volume so grain and hops utilization would be accurate.

Lol... all that sugar for a 2.5 gallon batch... that would be like Trent Pistoles

hrmm... the kit came with 10# of LME. SO 10# of LME, 1lbs of that golden syrup (tasted like honey), and 1lbs of dark candi only equaled out to 1.062 OG! I was expecting something a touch closer to 1.080. Its happily fermenting like crazy thanks to my 2-day liter starter...we'll see how it turns out.

I'm pretty sure the recipe calls for DME, which is why the OG was so low. I suppose next time I make it, I'll just buy a big arse bag of DME and ramrod the sugar in there

btw, the anise and orange peel smells FANTASTIC in there. I'm really looking forward to trying this come april 5th!
