"Belgian" Farmhouse Blonde Ale with Kviek yeast

[Simonpyman]

Hello,

Me and my friend are going to do a side by side brew, one will use Voss Kviek and the other will use Lutra Kviek. What do you think?

Make it public

I can be told that I am an idiot, but if you are going to make a Belgian Blonde, wouldn't you want to use a Belgian yeast? Maybe WLP500 or something in that ballpark? Otherwise, you have just a Blonde.
Nothing wrong with that, but a Belgian beer normally has a bunch of yeast characteristic. The grain bills for those are normally simple unless you do a Dubble or a Quad, but the yeast is important.

I normally would but this is an experimental brew. Perhaps i should change the name to a farmhouse blonde or something like that?

Would be fun to do that recipe with a Belgian or Saison yeast
