I looked into this a while back and can't remember what I decided. There is debate about whether or not duval use a primary or secondary yeast for bottle conditioning. I like the idea of reclaiming yeast a lot but the only time i have tried it I ended up throwing the beer away.

I know Orval used a secondary yeast which is less flocculant but I am unsure as to Duval.

I did:

80.5% of belgian pilsner malt
and the rest table sugar in the boil

hop:
slovenian styr goldings 90 min 14.7 ibu

saaz at flameout

grew up some yeast from a bottle

really important to do 90 min mash with pils malt
