Siason split in 1/2 the left is 05 right is Independence.
12hrs nothing from 05, independence took off nicely. View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1444176123.140095.jpg
24 hrs 05 finely took offView attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1444176166.869832.jpg
Two days later both slowing down. 05 krausen about all dropped out ahead of Idependence. View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1444176284.065245.jpg
Looked like Independence was about all fallen out and it took off again. This is pic is five days after pitchingView attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1444176367.167617.jpg

If you're using US-05 and Independence you aren't making a saison.
Pardon that aside, please keep us updated on your results.

US-05 =/= saison

Please excuse me for not better explaining a "Siason" style Lite body beer rather then a to complex flavor to better understand the difference between the yeasts. So far completely different fermentation characteristics.

Have you tasted this yet? Just ordered some Imperial Independence for an IPA. I usually use 05 but wanted to switch it up.

i have a batch of Yooper's Hoppy Amber that I brewed with Independence dry hopping now. Taste's great at this point.

Yeah I think I prefer the Independence over O5 but it doesn't seem to flow out as much as 05. It stirs up quit easily when racking out of Fermentor.
