WY 3711 is a beast and you cant replicate it with other yeast. WLP doesnt have an equivalent.

I wanna do this one but there are a few problems replicating it:

1) It doesn't get down to 10*F here.
2) If I almost burn the house down with a propane leak, SWMBO will never let me brew in the garage again.

Looks delicious! And, I bet the 3711 has a lot to do with the finished character of this brew, it sure is a unique yeast!

i just picked up this yeast today, and i have a closet rye obsession- amazing. how do you think this would turn out with using regular sugar? maybe turbinado?

I love Turbinado, just used 4 pounds in an Imperial Stout...

Anyhow, I dont think you can go wrong with any sugar in this one. The reason we used Dark Belgian was for color - if there is any flavor contributions, they are negligible at best.

sounds good, turbinado it is. i'm thinking about not doing a starter with this to really get some flavors from the yeast, but the catch 22 is i want to make sure its got enough guts to attenuate down... hmmm..

is the use of rice hulls really necessary for a 5.5 gal batch?

i would toss in a few handfulls, rye can be a total PITA even @ 20%

got to get some, thanks

We underpitched by ~20% - I probably wouldn't stress them too much more than that.
