Saison Not Finishing?

[BackAlley]

If you choose to use this yeast again be prepared to pitch it at 80 and allow to self rise into the mid 90's or with a controllable heat source and it will finish in 10 days easily with a great flavor profile, that's all I can tell you.

Do a search on 3724 and you'll find tons of folks who have done everything according to best practices and still had it refuse to finish after 5 weeks, me included.

I think it's perfectly acceptable to toss in some 3711 if a month with the 3724 hasn't finished the deal.

I'm not saying its not acceptable to toss in 3711, I'm just saying that the 3724 will finish if the brewer is patient

I'm going to just forget the thing is there. I have to say, the samples that I've pulled taste very good, but they just have too much sweetness for a Saison. So, I'll it sit in the corner for a while and go drink the 8 or so other varieties I've got in the bottle already.

Update: 10 days and a couple of 85-90 degree days and it measured at 1.006 or so. So either the Belle Saison did the job, or the 3724 woke up, or both. Sample tastes pretty good.
