I'm planning on brewing a Westvleteren clone and try out doing parti-gyle brewing technique getting 2 beers from one mash. I'm using this rather simple recipe for the Westvleteren clone:
15 lbs Pale Malt (2 row) Belgian
15 lbs Pilsner (2 row) Belgian
6 lbs candi syrup D-90
1.5 oz Northern Brewer @ 90
2 oz Hallertauer Hersbrucker @ 30
2 oz Styrian Goldings @ 30
white labs Abbey ale yeast
The question is what would make a good 2nd beer. I was thinking something along the lines of a IPA, but should I just added a different/more agressive hop schedule and yeast or do I need to a grain steep to the wort to provide some additional character to get something closer to an IPA
Any thought?
