Is t-58 the dry version
I think BE-256 is a closer fit.Is t-58 the dry version
Exactly, what? Breweries in different countries have genetically similar yeasts. Duvel and McEwans being a classic example, but one makes an iconic Belgian beer, the other certainly never has. De Dochter van de korenaar uses an american yeast to make Belgian beer. Where did EDME source the yeast they cellotaped to their tin can?
This explains why the OP can't find a solution. Too much thinking in boxes, rather than focussing on process and working out how to use what is available to reach the desired out come.

Whilst technically viable, it's high risk on the basis that there is no way of knowing how any two yeasts will interact unless someone has already done exactly the same brew, malts hops and all.Is co-pitching a viable option? For example use a yeast for the flavour early on in the fermentation for say the first 48 hours or longer, and then tip in a starter of a higher attenuator to achieve the final gravity
WLP400 witbier yeast produces pear and pepper like a saison yeast, but only attenuates to 75%. I don't know if that's good enough. If not, you might just want to add extra table sugar and/or do a super long mash overnight to improve the fermentability. However with respect to its flavors, it could pass for a saison I think.
Great question. The answer is, it depends. It depends mostly on the mouth of the beerholder. Whether the beer is perceived as "weak" is a personal thing.I'm trying to get down to 1.005 or thereabouts, and only an abv of just above 4% (4.2% to be precise but I know in reality it's difficult to control for such specific levels). I'm concerned that using sugar to get to such an FG but also keeping a low abv could result in me using largely sugar and so a weak flavoured beer. Is this a concern?
