    I created a recipe for a Belgian Dubbel and was planning on using Wyeast 3787 but my LHBS only had Wyeast 3789-PC in stock so i bought it without doing any research...

    It looks like this is a seasonal blend of 2 yeasts (Sacch and Brett) and the newest threads I could find online regarding this yeast is at least 5 years old so I was hoping someone had more recent data (or is it ok to rely on 5 years old threads? Since it is seasonal was thinking the strains may be slightly different?)

    I want to know if anyone has used this recently? :confused:

    It contains Brett and I have never brewed a Brett before. Any suggestions?

    It says fermentation temperature range is 68-85...any suggestions on a fermentation schedule?

    Cheers

    I have never used a blend like that so I have no direct experience.

    I ferment all my beers at about the middle of the listed range so this one I would start at about 75 degrees. I might ramp it up to 83 or 84 after fermentation signs had stopped.

    Are you looking to make a sour style?

    So you ramp up the temp AFTER fermentation signs have stopped? What is the point here...to increase yeast esters?

    Nope, just to make sure it has totally finished.
