This started off as a Dubbel but hop flavor came out much stronger than expected and it has more of a brown ale character

Fermentis T-58 Safbrew T-58
Fermentis T-58 Safbrew T-58
Estery, somewhat spicy ale yeast. Solid yeast formation at end of fermentation. Widely used for bottle and cask conditioning. Pitching instructions: Re-hydrate the dry yeast into yeast cream in a stirred vessel prior to pitching. Sprinkle the dry yeast in 10 times its own weight of sterile water or wort at 27C ± 3C. Once the expected weight of dry yeast is reconstituted into cream by this method (this takes about 15 to 30 minutes), maintain a gentle stirring for another 30 minutes. Then pitch the resultant cream into the fermentation vessel. Alternatively, pitch dry yeast directly in the fermentation vessel providing the temperature of the wort is above 20C. Progressively sprinkle the dry yeast into the wort ensuring the yeast covers all the surface of wort available in order to avoid clumps. Leave for 30 minutes and then mix the wort e.g. using aeration.
Notes
A cheap brew for a cheap brewer, used dry Safbrew T-58 dry yeast which supposedly has a Belgian character to it (never used it but I've heard good things). Used munich extract blend from northernbrewer.com, I think they use Alexander's but I'm not sure. Candi sugar was homemade by adding 2/3 lb of sugar with enough water to dissolve it and a tbsp of lemon juice concentrate, kept at a low boil until it turned an orangish-brown color then letting it cool on tin foil. After cooling was an amber-dark garnet color. Took 30-40 minuts but costed me maybe 50 cents vs $5 in a store if you dont mind spending the time. Brewed 4/19/08, will post an update if it is drinkable

Discussion
Very drinkable but somewhat plain

This is an easy drinking amber-brown ale, not as much grain flavor as I was hoping for. Has a bit of a slight resiny flavor too likely from the Brewer's gold hops, I would consider using a different bittering hop. Has a barely noticeable hop flavor.
