what are y'alls preferred saison yeast(s)?

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.

3724 finished with 3711/belle saison gives you all the flavors from Dupont plus the bone dry FG. It's a great one-two punch.

I've been wanting to try some of the newer Yeast Bay saison/farmhouse blends. I might do another Summer of Saisons this year and try some of those out.
