I'd be curious if anyone who used 3724 might try the same or a similar recipe with 3711 to how they compare flavor wise.
Last week I split a 10 gallon Saison batch with 5g 3711 & 5g 3724.
I used 1 pint of yeast cake (trub and yeast) for the 3711 and it went from 1.065 to 1.008 in 3 days, fermenting at 74F. I used a 2qt starter for 3724, and it went from 1.052 to 1.028 in 3 days fermenting at 80F.
I put the 3711 gravity sample in the fridge for a day, and today gave SWMBO a taste. She said it is one of her fave beers (despite flatness), then I told her it was 4 days old. She didn't believe me. I am very happy with the flavor so far, as it doesn't taste green at all.
I saw someone else said this yeast might go into the regular rotation for Wyeast, and that would make me happy, even though I already have some yeast bank samples of it.
