Planning a maibock and a Belgian of some sort. The plan is to use the same malt bill. I may add some dark candi syrup to the Belgian and call it a dubbel. We shall see.

I like 1214 if done cool, and 1762 best. 3787 is obviously good always.

I think I used the Rochefort strain for years before I switched to the Chimay strain. I need to split a batch or two and do some side-by-sides. I haven't used 1762 in years.
I just dumped a hard cider that never came around.

That's funny, I nearly dumped a hard cider that DID come around a few days back because I never relabeled the keg from "Star San" to "Cider". I thought I had dumped it last summer. It was a happy surprise, except now I need to scrounge up another keg for my American Lager...
You should try a cider with a packet of US05 before you give up. No esters obviously and makes a really nice, tart cider.
