Blending Gueuze

[wonderbread23]

Never thought of myself as a long-term project guy, but just recently finished up a blended Gueuze (style) beer that incorporated three annual batches of Lambic (style) beer. Each year's batch was split with three different cultures, so I ended up with 9 different beers to choose blending stock from. I'm really stoked with how it turned out.

Nice write up.

So was it correct that you did not dump any of the batches. You just blended the leftover beer and put it on fruit?

Correct, I took 3 of the remaining gallons and put it on 3 lbs of apricot puree. The last gallon wasn't great, and ended up getting dumped.
