West Coast Saison

when do I add the dry hop additions? I want to dry hop for 7 days, so should I add them now since I'm almost at FG?

I would give the primary fermentation at least 14 days to finish up. I have only used 3711 a few times and it finishes much lower than 1.014. After 14 days you should be fine to dry hop.

Ok. I actually used White Labs 568 (Belgian Saison Blend), but I've heard similar things about it. I only had 75% attenuation factored in, so I'll give it another week.

I have a starter going for brewing a derivative of this this weekend. I'll be using citra and either amarillo or simcoe, I forget which I chose...

In any case, I might up the base malt just slightly... More of a strong hoppy golden.

This turned out really great. I'd definitely recommend Citra and Simco in this with the 3711 yeast. So Good.
