Hello all,
I know it's a little late, but I'm looking to brew something for spring/early summer that is a little funky but refreshing. Right now I'm thinking a saison since I've brewed the style before and was pleased, but would like to try something different with it.
I have Fantome (no other name on it...just a ghost and a castle) and Orval available near me. I have seen a couple of other threads on it, but can anyone else comment on the viability of raising a culture of the yeast from one of these two? I'm aware there's Brett, that's why I'm interested. If possible I'd like it to be drinkable by early April, but I'm aware this might be asking a bit much, and the timeline is less important than making a nice beer.
Thanks in advance!
