Hi there, I am planning on brewing a version of the Greg Hughes Belgian Dubbel recipe. His recipe has Pilsner, Special B and Caramunich I malt and light candi. Looking at what I have available and what I can get I was thinking about dropping the Special B and subbing Caramunich II and dark...

Prompted by another thread on Fermentis' safale T58, I've been thinking a bit about the use of dry yeasts in Belgian beers and by Belgian breweries. There is some suggestion online - quite convincing - that Struise use T58 for Pannepot, and De Ranke use T58 blended with S33 (or maybe another...

New to the forum and fairly new to brewing. I have made two batches of the Festival Belgian Pale Ale and it just goes in our house because we love it! Now seems to be out of stock everywhere. I have had some recommendations for other types e.g. Muntons, but they are all very, very strong. I am...

I've got a Witbier in the FV, fermented with WYeast 3944 Belgian Witbier, which I am going to transfer at the end of this week. I'm going to save some of the slurry, and am wondering if anyone has had any experience/success in using this yeast in other styles (Belgian or otherwise)? I'm thinking...

hello, I have 1.2kg of Mangrove Jacks LME, I originally bought it to enhance a MJ kit (my first brew), but ended up using dextrose instead. Could I use the LME as a base for a beer? Does anyone have a recipe for something resembling a Belgian blonde using this? I guess maybe I’d need to steep...

I've never tried Belgian beer but would like to try some, possibly with a view to brewing my own, but don't know where to start. Can anyone recommend some commercial examples that would give a gentle introduction to this style?

I'm thinking of brewing a special beer for Christmas using my own recipe: Makes 5 litres 1000g Belgium pale malt 250g crystal malt 500g Munich malt Mash 63c 90mins 2g Amarillo hops 60min, 3g 15min, 6g end 6g Chinook 5min 3.5g Orange peel, 2g Corriander seed, 1 cinnamon stick, and 40g dried...

Nouvelle is my take on a Belgian Blonde inspired by the legendary Duvel and brewed with yeast cultured up from a bottle of Duvel. So much of this brew's character is delivered by the yeast that I would humbly suggest that the yeast should not be substituted for another. The flavour is...

I have bought six dry abbey beer yeasts, but Bulldog's B19 has the least information. Anyone used it already, and what results did you have?

I had a go at brewing a Belgian style "thumper" so I only needed one pint of a evening instead of the usual (?) two. I plugged in the grain and hops into the Brewers Friend recipe builder and brewed it up. I am very pleased with the outcome as I like a nice strong beer and this certainly fits...

Hi there, I had a problem on my last two brews that I have not really encountered before. I did two brews back-to-back same day and missed the OG by about 0.006-8 on both brews and then missed the FG by about 0.004 even after recalculating from the new OG. So this means my efficiency was...
