That's exactly what I did! It works out great, if you keep it sanitary and wash your yeast periodically you can keep the same culture going for quite some time.

Update. So I did a smaller gravity Saison with the third generation of this yeast cake. It was a 1050 with just 10 lbs of pills and half a pound of wheat malt, and it also attenuated down to 1. So sugar might not be necessary if you keep within a certain gravity range... but still that's 6.5% abv

Awesome Wilson. I just started cracking into my Pumpkin Saisons, they're a real crowd pleaser, it's got nice balance- Not too much pumpkin or spice flavor. The 3711 compliments this beer quite well. I just did a low gravity saison- 1.050, it's in the secondary now. I have a Golden Strong that...

Just tried my Saison the other night, and I think I may be in love. This beer is crisp, dry and silky smooth with loads of spice, pepper and fruit. You'd never guess it's 10.5% from the pallet, but it does warm you as it sets in the stomach.

when you racked to secondary did you repitch yeast or just rely on what was in solution? Rely on what's in solution. but didnt get quite as high gravity...1068, but it may still be a bit warm, so could go up...you took it at what temp? Accurate gravity readings for most hydrometers is at 68...

How is it coming along? Gone?

Thanks for the advice Ethan, I just bottled this one today, it attenuated down to 1.000. This yeast is pretty amazing. How long did you let yours set before cracking into one? I'm thinking this one is going to take a while to come into it's own. I have to admit that I was a bit surprised at how...
