Has anyone tried combining two different recipes of different styles of beer into one batch. I was thinking of how whiskey is often blended to give it unique flavors and qualities, but I haven't heard of this ever being done with beer. I'm sure most of us enjoy the occasional black and tan, black and blue, snake bite, old dirty englishman, irish canadian, dirty bush, black tire, Irishman in Texas, or any number of other blended drinks involving beer, but have these drinks ever been created earlier in the process?
What about mashing and boiling half a batch of two complimentary styles of beer, then combining them during fermentation. Or perhaps you would ferment each batch separately with their own yeast then combine them during secondary fermentation, kegging, or bottling.
Has anyone ever experimented with this? Is it heresy to even consider such a process?
