Would anyone know what yeast would go best with this recipe
pale malt
crystal
melanoidin
carapils
flaked barley

I have gervin or brewferm belgian ale yeast and it is going to be bottled.

I'm with Oblivious. Gervin is too clean to do that grist justice. Get some esters into that beer.

25 sounds good, I would not go to high as you want the malt yeast interaction to come through

I you have any styrian goldings I would use them

Losing quite a bit from the boil today must be the warm weather, so will be cutting short the boil by 15/20 min.
Should I leave out the sugar im looking to be in the region of 8.5% alc

No not really at the mo,hydrared it in about 50ml of boiled cooled water did'nt expand like safale does,just went into a milky looking liquid.First sign of fermentation started about 4 hours after pitching.
