So I have a 2 part question about something Im about to try.
I have recently been brewing to try as many different things as possible, I do not want to brew a "meh, I can drink it," but want something I look forward to drinking. Problem is Im an IPA guy, and DFH 90/120 Avery Maharaja kind... suffice to say Im picky. So instead of brewing 5 gal batches, I was splitting to 2 2.5's just changing hops. What I have decided to do this time around, is brew 2 2.5 batches, ferment, then instead of moving each to a glass carboy, Im going to split each again 4-5 times in growlers, DH with a different hop each time. I know it will be highly variable, and honestly Im not looking for something to drink, but to try different hop combinations since I have this stupid hop profile in my head that I cant seem to put together.
I was wondering if anyone has tried this, and has some advice for me. Also, if anyone has any experience carbonating growlers I would love some input on the amount of bottling sugar to use for each.
