I think i am finally getting a handle on this Peco boiler.

Pitching at 30C is too high for any beer yeast, even a saison strain. You're likely to get some solvent flavours from doing that. You're better of pitching low, and letting the temperature rise slowly.

In hindsight yes it was a tad high,though in saying that four hours into fermentation it had dropped to 21C and it has been bubbling away at 20-25C since.
