So I'm going to (after my daughter is born and starts to sleep) start up my small batches again using the parti-gyle method.
I'll be using the "blend" method, most likely blending the strong and weak gyles in varying proportions to enhance the weaker, using the pre-boil volumes of each.
Obviously some beers just have to be brewed solo given certain mash, boil or recipe requirements, but overall I think that for the styles I brew the method will be beneficial. Obviously the few combos that come to mind are:
BDSA/Dubbel
Tripel/Patersbier
Saison/Blonde
American Brown/English Mild
IPA/APA or English bitter
Imperial Stout/Stout or Porter
Doppelbock/Bock or Dunkel
Maibock/Helles or Oktoberfest
And the list goes on. Another thought was clone recipes. I've wanted to do the Chimay CSI recipes and this could be a good opportunity to do, say the Grande Reserve/Premiere or Blanc/Doree.
Any advice, thoughts or shared experiences that may help smooth the transition?
