Good. This is kind of an anti-oxygen beer from what I was told right?
Have a busy brewing weekend ahead of us. Planning on brewing 3 batches. Need to get a second burner.

Correct... Lactobacillus is anaerobic so you don't need O2 to encourage growth.

I made a starter for some bottle dregs the other day. Very surprisingly I saw activity kind of quickly. But I am starting to suspect that it is not the right activity as the pellicule isnt just white, almost a blueish green. I am going to give in a few more days to see how it pans out and smells but I am not anticipating success.

so we are doing a saison for the GR competition and probably adding fruit to it
I wanted to go with a french saison yeast (Wyeast 3711), but our local store only has these 2
any experience with either? does it matter?
WLP670
Belle Saison Yeast

WLP670 will not work in the time frame. It relies heavily on the brett in the mix. I love it, but it needs minimum 3 months.
Belle Saison is very similar to 3711.

Saw this in a homebrew forum the other day:

An update to the Wyeast 3711 French Saison Vs. Danstar Belle Saison test.
I brewed an 11 gallon all grain batch of a Boulevard Tank 7 clone. Split that into two 6.5 gallons glass carboys (dang the glass vs. plastic debate).
Wyeast 3711 (a 1200 ml starter) went into one carboy and Danstar Belle Saison (rehydrated per instructions) went into the other carboy.
Are they the same beer?
Very close. Current voting based on blind comparisons puts the the "drum roll" Danstar Belle Saison slightly in front.
The votes may change as the beers mature. Two 5 gallon corny kegs sitting next to each other.
Everything has been the same other than the yeast.

Good luck good sir. I still haven't figured it out yet. At least we will get to have a FDB real life meetup at the sharing event.

Did y'all get the email about wort pickup times on Saturday?
Posted on 9/24/14 at 9:50 am to LSURoss

Nothing to be scared of. Get some pbw and star San from brewniverse and clean clean clean then sanitize!!

BPW works great, but its SO overpriced...
Run by the dollar store and grab some Sun Oxi cleaner... it's the same stuff minus a few cleaners which you probably won't need if you aren't leaving dried up trub in the bottom of your carboys for months at a time.

How's that hibiscus Berliner?
Posted on 9/25/14 at 8:53 am to BottomlandBrew
Turned out great... It's got a nice berry/floral nose, tart berry flavor, and the German ale yeast did a really good job of drying the beer out.
I was really surprised by the aroma and flavor I got out of the hibiscus. I only added 2oz of hibiscus to the boil at 5 minutes and the wort looked liked fruit punch and tasted like a mixed berry cobbler filling going into the fermenter.
The sacro fermentation blew off a little of that aroma and flavor off, but the beer picked a good bit up from the strawberries and lemon zest.
