looks nice!  3255 is one vigourous yeast and I wonder if it's not going to attenuate too much for the style?  

I'll be brewing a BdG in the near future, I have a bottle of Gavroche and 3 Monts from St-Sylvestre that I want to culture and brew with it.  Might test it against 2565 and compare the two
