Notes

Yeast starter, 38 billion cells (use Yeast Pitch Rate and Starter Calculator to estimate). Pitch yeast at 18 C and allow it to rise 3-4 degrees every day over the course of the next 3-4 days until you stabilize temperature around 32 C. If beer refuses to drop close to or below 1.008-1.010 within 2 weeks, pitch Wyeast 3711 French Saison yeast to finish out.

Hop bill: Add flameout (1 min) hop addition, take it off the heat, and let it rest for 20 minutes before starting cooling. Dry hop can be done either in one or two portions of 5 days each, with the same hop amount. Mash hops (Czech Saaz or German Tettnang/Hallertau) are added directly to the mash, or as first-wort hops, directly in the boil kettle while transferring from the lauter tun to the boil kettle, before beginning the boil. The latter option will give around 5 more IBUs, and whether or not to do it depends on if you want a slightly more bitter beer or not.

If you're feeling adventurous, you can take part of (or the whole) batch and add a New Zealand white wine during secondary fermentation, as an experiment. Let it ferment out and add priming sugar like normal. I think this will work well, but who knows? It's been done with great success at places like moderntimesbeer.com, so maybe worth a try.
