So for awhile Now I have been wanting to brew several small (2-5L) batches and test what flavors and characters come from different ingredients. The first question is about the mash, my idea is that I will do a Base mash of ~10lb two row, and then a couple small mashes with different grains and malts separately. the Idea would then be to combine the base wart and the small wart in different ratios for the boil. Will this result in a different flavor than If I did the mash with the grains together?
I am thinking of getting several glass jugs and rig them up with an In line air lock of some sort, I still have not thought too much about this but will probably just use rubber stoppers and hosing in to a bucket of water, and purge the system with CO2 after pitching. Then transferring to a secondary and bottling in large bottles.
Anyone have experience doing this?
