I'm a big fan of brewing low gravity beers instead of starters, why brew something that you can't drink? I will occasionally make a starter if I have old yeast or want to brew something on short notice, but in generaly I try to brew something with about 3.5%abv and then brew a stronger beer, pitching onto the yeast cake.
I want to brew a Belgian Strong Dark (Quadrupel) and am wondering how Wyeast 3787 Trappist High Gravity would go in a small Belgian beer of about 3.5%. What I have in mind is a Belgian Blond/Pale ale, but without any simple sugars, lower gravity and a nice spicy yeast character. Does anyone have experience of using this yeast in low gravity beers? I'm having the same sort of thought about a low gravity Saison with the Dupont yeast strain.
