Ive only had the 8wired beer once and found it Pretty clean in malt so I'm not sure you'll need the spec malts but your not putting a heap in so i wouldn't change.

I just brewed a saison with the 3711, used 90% belgian pils, 10% wheat, 10 mins @ 55, 1 hour @ 63, 30 mins @ 66, mashout.

25 IBU EKG bittering and 30g EKG at knockout, come out pretty good IMO.

I think you IBU's seem high but if you know the specs on the 8wired then go of it. I'd drop the mash temp down to 63ish but 3711 is such a beast it'll ferment out either way.

Edit: higher mash temp may help balance your bittering so you could be right.

Love it that this company list all that recipe info. Where can you get these beers in Brisbane?

Cheers, I'll check it out and continue to tweak it.

It's still pretty chilly in Melbourne, so I might hold off a couple of weeks until it warms up - it would be good to get it in the high 20's.
