Hi,
This is probably the third thread I've started in the past few weeks and wanted to say thank you for all the help. Anyway, I was given a saison recipe and am getting ready to start it but have some questions about the yeast. This only my second brew so please bare with me. The recipe calls for Wyeast 3711 but the homebrew shop by me only had Wyeast 3726 which is also a farmhouse yeast. My equipment is only for 2 gallons but the yeast is for 5...can I just measure out and use 40% of it?
Also in my first kit the yeast was a dry yeast so I just poured it in and vigorously stirred. With this liquid yeast do I need to aerate the wort after following the Wyeast instructions?
Thank you!
