Full write-up, including the ferment schedule and packaging: https://brews.traineffect.co.nz/brews/2026-07-23-belgian-hoppy-blonde-be256. Note, the Styrian Goldings is Slovenian Celeia variety. Two yeast options. Dimitry's specified strain is Fermentis SafAle BE-256, which is POF-negative — ripe fruit and warmth, no clove or pepper, leaving room for the Simcoe and Celeia. That is what this batch used, finishing at 1.010 and 7.2%. The first round substituted Froth Tech Wildling FTW1, which adds a spicy phenolic edge and attenuates further, down to 1.004.
