I am writing up a recipe for Vinnie Cilurzo Strong Golden Ale from BLAM. My main questions are around mash temp and yeast selection. VC says the style should be very dry but gives a mash temp or 151-152, I think 147 will get me closer to dry. Thoughts? Also, does anyone recommend a yeast that is both attenuative and more fruity than spicy?
10 lbs. Belgian Pils
2.5 lbs. Table Sugar
.75 oz. Styrian Goldings 75 mins.
.75 oz. Styrian Goldings 30 mins.
1.25 oz. Saaz Flameout
OG 1.067
FG 1.006
Mash Temp 147
1214 or 3522 |

The Table sugar will give you the dry |

It's a minor point, but I would say 147 F may be low enough that efficiency might suffer just a little. Myself, I would convert at 149 F. I agree that the goal is a very fermentable wort, especially if you're seeking an F.G. of 1.006.
Both of the yeasts you mention are on the phenolic side in terms of flavor. I might also recommend considering Wyeast 1388 or White Labs WLP570 (the Duvel strain). |

I agree with Skot on the 152 mash temp. and 2.5 lbs sugar giving you a beer that's plenty dry.
If you feel the need for a different yeast, Bill's idea of using WLP570 sounds great to me.
I've only used it once on a Belgain Golden (extract batch) but it turned out fantastic.
Only trouble I had with WLP570 was, if it slid under 68-70 degrees, it would shut right down.
Gotta keep it warm.
