I just purchased a Fast Ferment conical with the intent of setting up a continuous brew project. My mash and boil capacity maxes out at about 3 gallons, and I don't intend to go bigger. The plan is after I build my stand to begin by doing two 3 gallon brews about a day or two apart, to fill the fermenter. After that, I will let it ferment about a week, and do another brew, drawing off 3 gallons into a secondary fermenter, and so on. The fermenter will be dedicated to pale ale, and each brew will be a single hop brew, but they will blend in the fermenter with both the hop profile and the malt profile gradually changing, kind of like my friend of many years ago who kept a pot of chili in the slow cooker for years, just adding various things. There will be no "recipes". The yeast will be constantly active, and I might blend yeasts, but I'm not sure what the result of that would be....... I'd hate to throw in a Belgian or a Saison and discover that it dominated the flavor profile completely, but obviously it will have to be cleaned, sanitized, and restarted periodically anyway.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
