Notes

Slurry from Belgian Blond fermentation seemed was mix of WLP550 and Fermentis T-58. Because it seemed a little low pitched, I added a pint of slurry from a lager fermentation.
Resulting beer was strong, clean and with just the right hint of fruit and spice from the Belgian yeast and very strong malt character from the lager yeast.
