Does anyone have some experience with this strain/blend?
I recently brewed a fairly standard saison recipe with a mash temp of 148. I split the wort into 3 gallon and 5 gallon fermenters with an OG of 1.053.
The 3 gallon got 3711 without a starter and the 5 gallon got the 670 blend, also without a starter. I figured at that OG, a starter would not be necessary.
The 3 gallon batch reached FG of 1.006, while the 5 gallon seems to have stopped at 1.015. After 2 weeks, it has not changed. This blend is supposed to have Brett which I know may take more time to eat away some of the sugars. But to see no change in 2 weeks seems a bit odd. The beer actually tastes great, similar to Colette. However, I would like it to be drier.
So, should I just wait and see? Maybe I should work up a starter of 3711 and pitch that in to see if it will dry out a bit more.
