Love this yeast! You can totally manipulate the flavors you get from it by accurate temps. I open ferment with tin foil on my blow off. Not a fan of under pitching. I pitch #3724 more like lager and have no stall issues. Great yeast always tasty!

Picky yeast. I knew ahead of time I may have issues from what many on the brewing forms had mentioned but I thought I would try it. I made a 2L starter. It took right off and fermented vigorously at 80F held there with temp control. After 4 weeks it appeared completely done..no activity whatsoever. I took a gravity reading and it was 1.035. I couldn't believe it. I racked and added Belle Saison to finish. It did smell good but it's finicky fermentation is something I don't want to mess with. There are more reliable yeasts. Try at your own risk.

I made my own recipe of a honey Saison with this strain. Left it at 90-91F for 1 mounth. Was a very slow, steady, fermentation. Fantastic results, but clearly needs special attention. Keep the heat on and be patient. Worth it.
