Making sales and brewing ales.
I've brewed 5 or 6 batches using 3522 and have always been very happy with the results, especially my Tripel and Dubbel following these recipes:

https://beerandbrewing.com/make-your-best-belgian-dubbel/
Now, I'm itching to brew another Tripel and a Dubbel, but I only have 1388 on hand (a quart or so of slurry harvested from an Affligem Belgian Blonde clone).
I'm curious if anyone has brewed with BOTH of these yeasts and has a preference or some feedback on the different flavor profiles. I can't find anything online that really helps me make a decision one way or another.
I loved the pear and apricot flavor contributions of the 3522 previously.
I can't really judge the 1388 well since the styrian goldings I used at flameout probably overpowered the subtle yeast characteristics.
Any thoughts or considerations?
