So I have searched many websites and forums but could not find an answer, if this has been discussed before I apologize.
I am pretty new to brewing (3 batches in) but want to make a chocolate-strawberry extract beer for February. After reading through some posts it seems that chocolate is very overpowering which makes the choco-strawberry combination difficult.
My thoughts were to brew two separate batches: 1.5 gal choco, 3.5 strawberry completely separately and combine them right before bottling. In my mind it makes sense but due to the different density, FG, amount of sugar, etc I am hesitant. Anyone have any advice or experience doing something like this?
Thanks in advance.
