Yesterday I brewed up a high gravity honey orange saison as a holiday brew. I plan on cork and caging this brew in Belgian 750mL bottles. I understand that 3724 is a finicky yeast and I'm trying my best to keep its ferment temps ~@85F. This basically consists of the fermentor sitting in the warmest room of my house wrapped in a blanket.
If it does stall at 1.035 like it's famous for, I'm considering adding some of my roselare mutated cake which is a 3rd gen roselare package plus dregs of a few different all brett beer dregs. I love brett beers and think it would go great with this beer. Should I add the roselare cake I have or just get a new package of brett from a homebrew store?
I recently made a belgian pale fermented only with my brett cake and it came out great. Awesome brett presence and an aecetic sourness that I am fond of. If I add my roselare cake after the oxygen has been used up by the 3724, will aecetic sourness develop? I don't think that sourness would be appropriate for a saison.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
