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.

Heh 3711 is awesome the final absolution convinced me. Jamie I gotta have a sip of this ill travel up if I have to come huntin season...

[jamie_savoie]

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

This is pretty damned tasty Jamie.  Job well done!
