can you compare it to a liquid strain? 

I should do a search. It seems someone here compared it to a wit yeast once.

In terms of its abrupt fermentation based on temp, 565. I can't comment on flavor just yet

Going to give this a try in a couple of weeks.  I think i am doing 10g and splitting it between Belle Saison and Omega Saisonstein's Monster.  Figure if I brew it by the end of April it should be ready for when the weather gets nice here.

 

[Poptop]

I might just join you on this.  I have everything poised and ready but only have Belle Saison.  I'd like to pick out a second yeast... hmmm......

[HVB]

Get on that!  I was taking grain inventory this weekend and realized I need to get brewing so some split batches of beers that should age OK will be happening soon.

[Poptop]

Will do.  This Sunday I was planning to use an old tube of WLP004 Irish in an Amber but rest assured before April is over I'll Motueka a Saison. 

 

Throw me a good suggestion for a second Saison yeast Sir.

Can someone point me in the direction in locating some fresh Motueka? Cant find any.

I thought what Yakima has is from 2013? I will try FarmHouse. Thanks.

My yeast preference would be 3724 but 3711 was very nice in this. Saisonstein's is like a 3724/3711 blend, no? If yes, that will work nicely. Im not near my notes on this but from memory I dont think you'd hurt a thing by bumping up to 50g or more on each of those hop additions. Motueka is not a subtle hop but it is more subtle than most of the US hops we are used to.

I think Label Peelers suggested they'll have some around October. I'm keeping my eyes peeled and will share if I see it.

Yea, I need some now tho. But, I will keep my eye out in Oct as well.

 

Thanks.

That Saisonstein looks pretty cool but the reference to bubble gum turned me away. Anyone with experience with it?
