I bottled 14 bottles in belgian ale with corks and wire hoods and introduced 6 Coopers sugar pills in each bottle. The balance of the 5 gallon batch was kegged. The kegged version is excellent, but the bottle fermented version is great. Note: Serve at room temperature.

Howdy, hey this looks really nice. I recently made a dubbel as well, but used the Wyeast 1214. I've never tried the 3522, but am wondering if you've played with both and have noticed any differences? Thanks!
