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.

I smacked a pack of 2308 that was a year old and it only took about 3 days to swell hard and then I made a starter for it. The starter was also quick to get rolling and I brewed with it last week. I know you're not worried about it starting but it seems like year-old yeast that has been stored properly is nothing to be concerned about.

So I'm approaching 24 hrs on the stir plate. Swirling very slow. So far nothing. Not even slight bubbles on the surface edges. Stored in fridge. I have some Bella but never used it before. If I end up using Bella would coolers fermentation temps get me more of the spicy pepper thing? BTW, I'm thinking about adding crushed white pepper corn at flame out.

Change of plan. Pitching a slightly low cell count of 3724 for 24ish hrs in the upper 70's then pitch Bella around 66-68 and, rate of rise, capture around 72-74. Decided to turn this one into a Peche.

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.

Work your instinctive road map. I'm sure it will be very Saison.
