I transferred 1 gal to a a 1 gal jug with Sofie drugs this weekend, not sure how long i'm going to let it sit yet. Will likely do smal tastes ever 2 -3 weeks until it gets to where I like it, will then bottle and set at least 2 or 3 bottles aside to age longer.
The Saison tasted great, nice citrus to it right now and just a little bit of spice, a lot different profile than what WLP 566 throws, that strain throws peppery spice like crazy. Never realized it until I started talking to a local brewery and sampled a couple he made with different strains. I didn't check the gravity yet, i know it still has some time before I bottle, at least a couple weeks, but I can't wait for this to be cold and carbonated!
Many say 3711 isn't that complex, I like to think of it as more "refined." It doesn't throw a ton of esters, it doesn't taste like you threw a bunch of black or white pepper in, and it doesn't have a lot of funkiness to it. All the normal characteristics are there just more subtle than other strains, which allows bringing out malt or hops more than what you can usually get from other strains. If I had to say one characteristics stands out more than others it's the citrus, mainly lemon to me.
