I recently brewed a saison with Wyeast 3724... and it stuck at 1.032. After some research I ended up pitching in a packet of 3711, and it finished the job -nicely - and the beer tastes awesome. ![Mug :mug: :mug:](https://cdn.homebrewtalk.com/smilies/sdrinking-100-154.gif)
I've read in other threads that harvesting blended yeasts can work very well, but I was just curious if anyone out there has experience harvesting (& reusing) this particular blend?
I wouldn't be too concerned, except that the two yeasts weren't doing their job simultaneously in the original fermentation (30 days for 3724 followed by 14 days for 3711), and if I reused a harvesting blend of these from my primary, they WOULD be getting pitched in at the same time. Would that affect the flavor?
