What yeast did you use? Got a pic?

 

[yono1986]

Sorry for not providing the pic with the original post. The yeast is White Labs WLP568 Saison Ale Yeast Blend.

what temp did you ferment at?

 

[yono1986]

what temp did you ferment at?

I fermented at ambient temp since I wanted a bit more fruitiness, so I'd say between 72 and 75
