what are y'alls preferred saison yeast(s)?
I have wanted to try White Labs saison III except never when it's actually in stock.
I haven't made a saison in along time so I don't remember what I used. I'm looking for more fruit character. Right now I'm thinking of going with 3724.

My favorite is WY3724/WLP565. That's the Dupont strain. It produces the flavors that I want but it's a pain sometimes. It tends to want to stall about halfway through the fermentation. Doing an open fermentation seems to help with that problem. It's also a good opportunity to add some brett to finish it off.
I also like WY3725 Farmhouse. Very rustic flavor profile. A friend of mine does a great dark saison with this yeast.
I have on tap a saison that I made with a blend from the White Labs Vault. It's WLP 564 Leeuwenhoek. I like it but it's not as spicy as I'd prefer. If you're looking for a fruity profile, it might be the ticket for you.

As you know, I tried 3724 for this saison. Started at 1.053 and stalled at 1.037 after a week. Tossed in a packet of Belle Saison yeast and worked to warm the carboy up some, and now it’s down to 1.006. Tasted delicious last night, and that was before tossing in some Mosaic dry hops.
