So I recently brewed a recipe for a saison that has proved to be a keeper. I decided to change the yeast up. I pitched a sizeable starter of WLP670 and it swirled and had 2-3 seconds in between bubbles on the airlock for 6 days straight.
I've brewed well over 100 batches of beer, and have never seen it do this for more than 2-3 days. The OG was 1.056 so it's not like it was a huge beer or anything. Even more interesting is that it didn't even require a blowoff tube, with approx. 1/2 gallon of headspace.
Has anyone used this yeast before, or experienced such a gnarly fermentation with a different yeast?
