    Decided to give WLP565 (Belgian Saison) another try. The first time, it crapped out at 1.030 for 6 weeks at 90F. Brett got it down to 1.016, but it was still too much. I swore off that yeast then.

    My LHBS only had that yeast and not one of the blends. I made a larger than normal starter, used pure O2, mashed at 147 and cut all "chewy" malts from the recipe.

    Just checked the gravity and after 5 days it's at 1.010! I still plan to pitch brett in secondary as well. I'm hoping to be in the low single digits by the time I drink it. I decided to go with bottle conditioning vs kegging on this one. The idea being that with age, the brett will change it. I have a small stockpile of thick bottles that should work perfectly.

    Also, my bottle dreg starter from Jolly Pumpkin started forming a pellicle and bubbling a little today. The smell is intense, but clean, sour.

    Any suggestions on what beer to sour with it? I split between a flanders red/brown, belgian blonde or sour stout...

    Sometimes warmer.....hot in your case....isn't what the yeast wants. I'm guessing you tried hotter after it stalled out. Glad you got better results this time around.

    I vote Flanders red.
