Was initially hoping to just rack on top of a cake of 3711 from the previous batch, however after bottling yesterday there just wasnt much left...made a starter of the tiny bit that was left, however definitely not enough for 5 gal's.
Plan: Pitch WLP500 at 67F, raise to 72F over the course of 5 days. Grow starter of 3711 while WLP500 is doing its thing, hopefully having enough to pitch at 5 days.
Recipe is a basic strong saison (1.075og), pils, munich, bit of vienna, tett & hallertauer for hops.
Hoping for something spicy, fruity, about 8% abv, and happily dry.
Any thoughts or suggestions? Brewed tonight, pitching the WLP500 tomorrow AM. First time mixing strains...excited as I know the 3711 will finish just about anything, just hoping the fruitiness of the chimay yeast pops through.
