Starting a year old pak of 3724 for a Saison. I'm sure it will get going, albeit slowly. What I'm thinking about doing with this batch to finish it off quicker after I get plenty of 3724 character is to toss in some Omega Tropical IpA which is the WLP644 Brett Trois. I like the thought, what do you guys think?

Sounds like a fine suggestion to me. What are you thinking adding the Omega on day 3-4?

Yea somewhere in there depending on how well those first days go with an older pack. I will know more tomorrow when looking at the starter.

Didn't you make Motueka Saison suggestions in the past? Hmmmm.....
Yes, and yes there will be Motueka in this Saison too.

Belle is a fantastic saison yeast and brings much spicy character to a batch. 3724 is pretty awesome too. I guess I'm saying is that if you can complete the batch with 3724 assuming all the positive telltale indicators of fermentation, then I wouldn't add Belle but save it for another saison.
I did get some positive indications of fermentation with the 3724. I went 3 days when it started to fall back a bit. I used foil and no airlock which allowed me to see and smell what was going on. I could see where a small krausen ring was at and some yeast pockets. I also could smell the change from the initial by products of fermentation to 3724 yeast character. I then went ahead and pitched the Bella to finish it off. I did not check a gravity at that time, just went with my senses. I'm holding it between 73-74* and have some decent airlock activity. I'm pretty sure the 3724 was not going to finish this beer out. It is a 10g batch so I will see how it tastes on its own. I might just add gentle peach to half of it.
