I will be brewing a saison this weekend and I would like to get the character of the dupont strain (3724) into the beer without having to deal with the challenges that come with the strain (the need for high heat and a lengthy fermentation.
I think I will use a pack each of 3724, and 3711 (having had quick, and dramatic results with it in the past), but I am trying to decide between two options that make sense to me:
1) Make a starter of 3724, and pitch it with a pack of 3711 (this will be more than enough cells for me)
2)Pitch the starter of 3724, wait 2 or 3 days, then pitch the pack of 3711 so that it can take over where the 3724 left off.
Seems option two might encourage more dupont flavor, but does anyone see any issues arising from the delayed pitch of 3711? Any other insight would be appreciated!
