Brewferm Grand Cru

Post by Anzac Cookies »

Was wondering who has put down one of these Kits. What is recommended to be used (Yeast etc...) I am trying to get a really tasty brew happening that is close to the Hoegaarden GC.

Cheers in advance :?:

Haven't done this one, but I did their Oud Vlaams Broun.
The yeast certainly wasn't anything to write home about.
Shoulda taken a culture from a St. Bernardus bottle or something.

You could try making a starter from a Hoegaarden Grand Cru, but Wyeast 3944 Belgian Witbier or 3463 Forbidden Fruit would probably be the biz.

Apparently Hoegaarden uses a bottling strain for all its beers, so culturing from them may not achieve the desired results.

I have tried the Brewferm Tripple and also thought the yeast was the weakpoint. I was thinking of using a Chimay Blue stubby as a starter if I ever try it again. Not cheap but I'd drink most of it first !!!

forbidden fruit is great, pitch about half your normal starter and ferment at about 24C, it's what i did with my last belgian wit, mmm banana
