I have made this beer 4 times, using different yeasts each time. None of them taste like Fat Tire. The Belgian Ale yeast has yielded the best results thus far. After taking with the brewer from New Belgium, the trick is to ferment in the primary with belgium ale yeast for several days. Then crash cool the beer to 40o, to let the yeast drop out. Rack the beer off the settled yeast, raise the temp and then add 1056 American ale yeast for the rest of the fermentation. I have not tried this yet, if you do, please post the results here, thx.
