Hi All,
First time poster, long time reader...lol
I was reading last month's issue of BYO and was thinking of brewing the "Dark Winter Saison clone" recipe... My question has to do with pitching rates and a yeast starter. The relevent stats on the beer are an OG of 1.066, its a 5 gal batch, using a stir plate. They suggest (and i was planning on following) using WLP565 (Belgian Saison I) and WLP645 (Brettanomyces clausenii). I believe I once heard in one of the "Brew Strong" podcasts that Jamil suggested not using a starter for Brett cultures. So should I just make a starter for the Saison strain then pitch both starter and other yeast together, or is there another process you all would follow?
Thanks ahead of time!
