I'm brewing a saison with 3724 and I had some interesting thoughts about this yeast.
3724 is a yeast that comes from old barn style brewing days. This would mean that the temperatures weren't regulated but possibly a small fluctuation of warmth through out the day and night. I've read about people ramping temperatures use controllers and heating elements. But I think this is a safe yeast in that it can tolerate a pretty wide range of temperatures without much danger. And a yeast that likes the movement in temperatures.
I've had it going for a little over a day now sitting in common room temperature instead of using a controller like I normally would for any brew. And it is churning along at a great rate so far. My home(NYC) has temperatures that are currently between 75-85 based on the weather. I'll follow up in a week or two but that's just my two cents as of now.
Also a little video of the airlock:
