The wife and I visited Stone Brewery the other day, and one of the employees came up and got a growler filled with a mix of two beers. We asked about this and the beer jockey said that the favorite drink of the employees was a blend of their porter and their IPA. Well, the wife fell in love with it, and has requested that we brew the same (I was even able to turn that enthusiasm into a new 15 gal conical fermenter). So my question to all of you is - Has anyone here done this with their homebrews? I was planning on making a 5 gal porter batch, and a 10 gal IPA batch (since I like IPA more) and then just bottle them and blend as necessary, but since the point of the whole thing is that the blend has all the body and rich flavor of a porter, while at the same time it also has the crisp hoppiness of the IPA - should I exaggerate these points in the initial brewing? Any pointers/recipes/ideas would be greatly appreciated.
