I made a nice saison a few months back using a white labs strain. I recently made a pale ale using Columbus, Cascade, and Centennial hops in the same carboy. I just opened the first bottle today and there is certainly a yeast esther like the saison that overwhelms any hoppiness. The pale ale used a wlp001. The carboy was completely sanitized with star san....any thoughts?
Old yeast contaminate the next batch

Just pointing out that you mention sanitizing but not cleaning. The two are not the same.

The saison funk will certainly stick around if you don't thoroughly clean AND sanatize the carboy between batches....like twice as much cleaning as you would normally would.

fermenting to hot will give of "belgian" esters
BUTT like mnay have said, cleaning and sanatizing are 2 VERY different procedures.
