Anyone have experience mixing yeast strains? Specifically US-05 and Belle Saison?
I'm planning on doing a split 10 gal batch of DIPA (1.070 OG), one will be just fermented with US-05, the other will have US-05 and receive additional sugar in the primary to boost OG to 1.090.
In the higher gravity beer I was thinking of pitching US-05 initially and then throwing in some Belle Saison to help it finish real low. I would like zero to minimum Belgian yeast flavor.
The best attenuation I've achieved with US-05 is about 84% compared with 88-89% for Belle.
Anyone have experience with this?
