Can I ask where you got that figure of 55 from? I don't see it on the product datasheet PDF linked to earlier in the thread.

Page 11, the table at the top left of the page, bottom right cell of the table.
Ah yes, right there in black and white. I never got past the blue and yellow summary table at the start.
While the grain bill seems to be a bit of a nightmare, there have been multiple queries as to the best yeast.
Just a thought.. but since hoegaarden is bottle conditioned. What about harvesting the yeast from 3-4 bottles of hoegaarden?
I'd get to drink them first too... win-win!
What are your thoughts?

I found a thread on another forum that suggested it is pasteurised and carbonated with a neutral yeast, so I wouldn't do that.
Edit: but by all means drink one or two as you brew, if it doesn't stop your concentration and cause errors that is!

I've just been researching this and it seems there is much confusion.

Some posts on here discussing the issue but it seems the general consensus is that it's re-yeasted with the same yeast.

I've never done this but if you're going to use loads of flaked grains then it's recommended to do a cereal mash with them.
I don't think its needed with flaked grains as they are gelatinised during the flaking process
Hi!
@_jon_ I've read through the complete "saga" and have one suggestion - as The King said, "A little less conversation, a little more action".
Get it made, keep copious notes, try it and then, if it doesn't suit, have another go.

Since I won't have time to brew this week, I've been this week I've been tinkering with the recipe.

What are your thoughts about adding 1kg of Pilsner Malt to this? Because, my efficiency is lately a little poorer than my recipes are written for. So I've lowered the efficiency to 60%, which needs more grain. Then if I hit better efficiency I can liqueur back to the correct gravity and just deal with the extra volume.
What do you think?
