Coupla questions though sorry...
Did you have any tips for reculturing the Hoegaarden? i.e how many bottles of hoegaarden, what volumes did you culture in, and what amount of malt per volume.
This torrified wheat...can you give me an example of a brand name (don't want to end up buying rice bubbles or something else totally wrong )
And did you use the yeast that came with the coopers kit as well as your cultured hoegaarden?

1cm of dregs from a carefully poured single Hoegaarden bottle, in 500ml of boiled and cooled water in a 740ml PET bottle, with 4 tablespoons of dextrose and 1/4 teaspoon of yeast nutrient.This torrified wheat...can you give me an example of a brand name (don't want to end up buying rice bubbles or something else totally wrong )

Nope, saved that to use on a Weizenbier in the not to distant future.

I've heard that a good temperature is 25*C but since i had no confirmation i just pitched warm (26*C i think), and used a blanket so that it brewed from between 24-22*C the whole time, thanks to a blanket and some perfectly timed warm weather.
It went gangbusters like that, in my tall and narrow 30L fermenter the Krausen was almost 30cm in height at its peak, even reaching into the bottom half of the S airlock.

If you're using the Muntons Wheat Beer tin, you need about an extra 1kg of fermentables, so use the wheat malt mix and leave out the brew enhancer.
