Hi, I finally could get my hand on this yeast, Lallemand Pomona -11g. I did planned two brews with it so I did started to harvest it.
Everything went fine, but to my big surprise, I have a very strong banana smell. Let's see later during the fermentation ...

Usually a sign of stress or fermenting too warm.

@Northern_Brewer ... To avoid any stress, if I used a pack of dry yeast - 11 g - What is the max volume, concentration of starter that I should used? Max 200 g DME in 1.5L Water?

To avoid stress - don't do a starter, it just consumes the sterols which means that the yeast needs oxygen for your main brew, and if it doesn't get that oxygen then it will be stressed. Depends a bit on how strong your main brew is of course.
And generally 200g in 1.5l is a bit on the high side, for most starters I use 10% w/v (ie 100g/l) DME, but 5% w/v or less if I'm rescuing old yeast or harvesting from bottles.
