Notes

Make a starter for Wyeast 1214 two days in advance. Pitch both 1214 and Voss after adequate oxygenation in the primary at the same time. Ferment at 70 to 72 degrees. Fermenting at this temp allows the 1214 to impart all the Belgian characteristics while the Voss will remain neutral. Voss will speed the conditioning and rounding out of the beer much faster.
