The I brewed two beers with this last summer, one was a low ABV session saison with american hops (centennial). After a few months in the keg it was quite an incredible beer. Slightly tart, funky and a nice citrusy note from the hops.

The second beer was a rye saison that is currently sitting in bottles. It wasn't showing much tartness last time I tasted it, but a very pronounced fruity brett character.

Today I am brewing a saison and pitching a starter that is combined slants of WLP670 and WLP565. I am very interested to see what flavors from each come out.

I brewed a belgian specialty ala BCS last September, aged it until early December (when I bottled) and by February I had significant Brett (brux) development. I pitched two bottle dregs worth of Orval after primary to bulk age and that was it. If your blend has the bugs in it from the get go I'd say in 2-3 months you should have noticeable funk.

Mine has wonderful subtle tart pineapple twang in the beer and I LOVE it. Bugs are great and I might look into this strain depending on what I hear from you guys.

How did the Cynic with WLP670 turn out? I was contemplating doing this but given the acidulated malt in the NB Cynic recipe I thought it might interfer with the sourness of the yeast.

This is a new concept to me to mash overnight for a sour mash. How much sour did you get from this? Considering this procedure for tonight and sparging tomorrow and pitching the 670...

Any final gravities after long-ish term aging / secondary-ing?

I brewed up a fair basic farmhouse ale - pale malt with rye, munich and wheat (about 10% each). Mashed around 154F and it went from 1.049 to 1.007 in two weeks in primary. Have tx'd to secondary and wondering how long to age it (first beer w/brett I've done). I'm not in a particular rush for it, and would rather wait than risk bottle bombs if the brett is going to work it down a little more?

Ok so here is my .02 cents FWIW I brewed using this strain back in the beginning of March and bottled in mid July and also through in s-04 as a bottleing strain and had my first at a brewing party I had not long ago. all I can say is WOW this is awesome !!!! I promise you there will be a amount of sourness not quite Lambic sour but definitely there none the less. I picked up on pineapple, cherry, horse blanket, kinda a tobacco like quality but not overpowering as well as that saison pepperiness. I was very happy with this strain and as time goes on the sour is becoming more previlent. Here is the recipe I used I did use Brett B and C as well as 565 with this but from what I can gather that's what 670 a combo of 565 and Brett C.

Drinking a bottle of farmhouse ale with this now. 10% crystal rye (thought it was normal rye).

Two weeks in it hit 1.008, 5ish months later in secondary down to 1.003 and bottled.

Tastes nice, got a real nice grainy flavour from the rye, a little diacetyl maybe but its still young in bottle. I added wlp001 when bottling.

Think I get a little pineapple. Maybe a bit of farmyard (dry hay) in the after taste but its not over the top.

Nice! The funk becomes more noticeable as you get deeper into the glass.

I was expecting more phenolics from the sacc, but that seems pretty neutral, which I suppose is better to let the subtle grain and farmyard flavours come through.
