Doing a bit of experimenting, as i've gotten some 5 liter(bit more than gallon) bottles with stoppers and airlocks from a friend.
The idea is to make a base beer, about 12 ibu with pilsner malt and mittelfruh, fermenting with nottingham.
then i want to split the batch as follows.
Secondary beer 1
5 liters beer.
Wlp648 Trois vrai
Secondary beer 2
5 liters beer.
Wlp655 belgian sour mix 1
Secondary beer 3
5 liters beer
Wlp 648
1 kg strawberries
Secondary beer 4
5 liters beer
wlp 655
500g rhubarb
500g strawberries
does this at all sound achievable and or sane?
how long should i be thinking of having this in secondary?
i've got some oak chips for secondary, about 3 ounce, split between batches or only use for the first 2?
I'll probally think up more questions later, but feel free to add any helpful info
