ben 10 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 I have these on the way. 3822-PC Belgian Dark Ale (Saazer-type hops or Styrian Goldings are commonly used) 3538-PC Leuven Pale Ale (Saazer-type hops, Styrian Goldings, East Kent Goldings or Fuggles are commonly used) 3463-PC Forbidden Fruit What hop shall I buy? BJCP says saaz like but also mentions Fuggles and the like. Big bag of EKG do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porschemad911 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Styrian Goldings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenyinthewestofsydney Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Yep as john says. Styrian goldings is the most commonly used. You can also use fuggles which is the parent of styrian. Saaz as well. It doesn't make much difference at all with a belgian beer though. Its all about the yeast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BJCP says saaz like but also mentions Fuggles and the like. Big bag of EKG do? The De Verboden Vrucht strain. I agree with John, the Styrian Golding looks like a good fit for this provided you are making a darker beer with it. I found this link to a HB recipe clone. It might give you a few ideas if you don't have your own plan mapped out just yet. https://aussiehomebrewer.com/threads/forbidden-fruit.5484/#post-144438 Best of luck with them. Lusty.

ben 10 Posted September 9, 2019 Author Share Posted September 9, 2019 Forbidden Fruit STRAIN PROFILE Beer Styles: Witbier, White IPA Profile: A widely-used strain in the production of Witbier and Grand Cru. This yeast will produce spicy phenolics which are balanced nicely by a complex ester profile. The subtle fruit character and dry tart finish will complement wheat malt, orange peel, and spice additions typical of Wits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just thought you might like to see the beer the brewery reportedly uses the 3463 on. Lusty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben 10 Posted September 10, 2019 Author Share Posted September 10, 2019 Cant really see the label. Is that a wheat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerlust Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 It's interesting the Wyeast descriptors for a yeast strain reportedly used by the brewery in what appears to be something resembling a Belgian Dubbel. It's almost like it's not the same strain. Good luck with your planned brews. Should be interesting. Cheers, Lusty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
