Can't wait to try this.  I'll be starting your ESB next weekend.  It will take less time to condition than this I expect.  4 weeks should be ideal.

Chris : 3711 ferment fairly quickly and 4 weeks will be more than enough.  Mine might take a little longer but from what I’ve read, cultured yeast from a Dupont works better than WY3724 since they use 3-4 strains vs the wyeast which only has one. It’ll be fun to compare our beers at future meeting :)

Peter: I prefer the flavour of the Dupont yeast but I really like the peppery and silky mouth feel 3711 gives even though it finish bone dry and it’s less a pita to work with compare to Dupont.  And feel free to stop anytime if you’re around here, you’re more than welcome!  We’ll sample some beers and eat some sausages ;)
