Blonde als Leffe

[Wamser]

Hi 

I'm planning brew a blond like Leffe, not necessary clone...
my batch will be 60L and I would like make a test: 30L fermenting with WB06 and 30L withT58...
I don't know T58 so good, if possible use this yeast for a blond?

The recipe:
Bitterness: 23,7 IBU
Est Color: 7,5 SRM
Brewhouse Efficiency: 75,00
Volume: 63L

10,0 kg Pilsen 61,73 %
2,70 kg Wheat Malt, 16,67 %
1,30 kg Carared (Weyermann) (22,8 SRM) Grain 8,02 %
0,70 kg Melanoidin (Weyermann) (35,5 SRM) Grain 4,32 %
1,50 kg Corn Syrup (1,0 SRM) Sugar 9,26 %

60,00 gm Northern Brewer [8,50 %] (60 min) Hops 17,8 IBU
70,00 gm Saaz [4,00 %] (20 min) Hops 5,9 IBU

33,29 gm Gypsum (Calcium Sulfate) (Mash 60,0 min) Misc

T58 is low attenuation yeast: leaves lots of sugars unfermented. If you like sweet beer like Leffe: ok. But why not use a saison yeast (Belle Saison) and make a farmhouse blonde?

Research done here on the forum in the past has shown that Leffe Blond is mostly a strong Kristall Weizen. WY3068 would be an appropriate yeast,

No necessary must be Leffe clone...
Because this I'll use wb06 and T58...

Try the new Danstar Munich Classic Ale Yeast (not the Danstart Munich Wheat beer yeast)

I'll make 2 batch:
30L with wb06
30L with belle saison

I think will be good beers

Well the Belle Saison will be a .................. Saison and not a Leffe Blond

You're using about 10% off sugar ( candy-sirup ) in your recipe the T58 would reach a attenuation above 80%

Below 20 C will get a spice finish
Above 20 C will get a sweet bubblegum finish

I made hl's off beer with the T58 and every time I had 10% or more sugar in my recipes attenuation went above 80%
No sugar in the recipe never went higher then 78% mostly around 74/75%

I would prefer the T58 instead off the belle saison unless you want to brew a Saison

If the logo's right, he lives in Brasil. A saison can easily cope with temperatures above 25°, that's why i recommended this yeast (unless he has temp.control).
I think it's a good idea comparing two yeasts and let the tasting of the beer decide which one he prefers.
