I see WL lists this on there site as a secondary blend, anyone use this as the primary bland?
 
As long as there is a sacc strain in there then there is no reason why you can't use it in the primary. However, if you're going to primary in one vessel and then transfer to secondary it does make more sense to pitch the blend in secondary so you don't have any concerns about some of the souring bugs getting left behind in the trub.
 
Right, I was thinking it might sour faster as the primary strain, any harm in aging it on the cake?
 
No problem aging on the cake, I have a few funky beers that have been on the cake for 7-8 months.

You could pitch a Belgian sacch strain and the bugs at the same time in primary then age for a few months until you reach terminal gravity.
