Some time this summer I'm going to try brewing a saison for my wife. I'm an extract brewer, and I hear saisons are one of the styles that is tricky to do with extract since it's tough to get a sufficiently low FG without control over the malt, but I'm gonna give it a shot anyway. (It's not the complexity or even the extra equipment that is making me shy away from PG or AG right now, it's that with 2-year-old and 3-month-old boys I can barely find 2-3 consecutive hours to do an extract brew)
I'm going to shoot for around 5% ABV. I was starting to lean towards Wyeast 3724, but then I saw some people singing the praises of 3711's attenuative abilities, and I wondered if that might be better then giving that I'm using an extract so may have trouble with attenuation.
Any thoughts?
