B, do you remember the approximate FG of your saison?

cool, thanks

I haven't been able to find the yeast I want to use, so I contacted White Labs this morning, and they said they have been short of it but it should be available in the next month.

Not sure if I want to wait or go forward with another yeast

Saison Blend

Wallonian Farmhouse

I've used the Wallonian yeast a couple times now. Not thta great for a standard saison, but an interesting Belgian Strain. The saison blend is supposed to be a couple of the strains derived from Dupont, as opposed to the wyeast/WL Dupont strains that are singular strains.

thanks for these. I figure I have until well into October to brew a saison to take advantage of the temperature of the fermentation closet, so I am not in a big hurry. I also need to suck it up and empty out the keg of Clusterfrick, so having it as the only keg available will help with that.

If any of you happen to see WLP585 Saison III for sale, holler at me

I've made 2 great saisons, and have used wyeast 3711, french saison yeast, both times. I'd like to try belgian yeast, but all i hear about that from those strains are that they never finish off, or are very slow to ferment.

I'm planning a pumpkin saison, i saw in zymurgy, for some time in august/september.

I wonder if it has to do with switching over to their new packaging process?

Email keith over at LA Homebrew (keith @ lahomebrew dot com)

He just signed up for some special program White Labs has and should have a shipment coming in with every yeast White Labs sells in the next day or so.

ETA: He is also reaching out to some of the newer yeast vendors. So hopefully he will be able to get those soon too..

Welcome to the south. That's what I can't stand the most. Literally dripping with sweat constantly after any brief period of time outside

Well, i don't sweat a lot. I'm a sort of thin guy. Today is a bit ridiculous though.

And i just checked the weather, 94% humidity. Wonderful.
