So I have some Belgian Saison yeast, that for one reason or another is not currently able to be put toward beer, i was wondering how this might turn out on a batch of apfelwein... completely crazy or legit? Thoughts?
 
I heard somewhere that the Saison dupont strain was derived from a red-wine yeast originally, so it's use in an applewine may not be too far off...
 
WLP565 Belgian Saison I Yeast
Classic Saison yeast from Wallonia. It produces earthy, peppery, and spicy notes. Slightly sweet. With high gravity saisons, brewers may wish to dry the beer with an alternate yeast added after 75% fermentation.
Attenuation: 65-75%
Flocculation: Medium
Optimum Fermentation Temperature: 68-75°F
Alcohol Tolerance: Medium

Can you handle peppery cider that may be sweet?
