hi!
I'm going to brew a high gravity saison (about 9% abv).
I'd like to use wyeast 3724 for his profile but i know that it isn't easy to manage a fermentation with this yeast since it tends to stall at about 1030 sg.
I also know there are some suggestions to avoid stuck fermentations (a lot of oxygen and nutrients, overpitching, open fermentation, ...) but since a such high gravity beer isn't an easy fermentation i want to be sure to have no issues like stuck fermentation. So i thought to add wyeast 3711 to help 3724 to ferment quickly. Is it a bad idea?
I thought to do two separate starters and then pitch them together after wort is cooled. Is it a good idea? Would you add wyeast 3711 in a different moment? Or wouldn't you add wyeast 3711 at all?
Thank you in advice
