As promised.
Its day 6 of my WLP029 and WY3711 mixed fermentation at 16.5C (62F). Gravity reads 1.004, target was 1.005. So 3711 was completely unaffected by the low temperature.
Initial tasting is good, very restrained Saison character. Plenty of lemon citrus from the Sorachi Ace. A slight Kolsch quality to the beer, but that might be because I know that was the other yeast or it could be the malt bill was 90% pilsner
Upping the temperature to 21C (70F) probably unnecessary but I want to make sure I clean up any potential diaceytal and make sure its fully attenuated.
3711 is an epic yeast. (it is worth noting that WLP029 would have got it to 1.006 anyway)
