Hi all,
Short term lurker and first time poster. I'm new to home brewing and looking for some help/advice on my next brew. I've been at it for the past few months starting with an extract brew before moving on to BIAB. So far I've done 1 gallon batches of Wheat beer and just bottled a Session IPA.
At the weekend I finally finished converting a 30l fv bucket to a brew kettle and made a 2 1/2 gallon clone of Brewdog Zeitgeist.
Now that that's fermenting I want to make a start on planning my next brew and maximise the use of my kettle. I'm keen on Belgium style beers and my hope is to brew 5 gal, keeping 3 gals as is and trying to sour the other 2 gals, one just straight and the other as a kriek beer. As I'm still new and impatient my plan would be try the fast sour approach.
I realise a lot of this is down to individual taste but wondered if anyone with some experience might recommend a style/recipe to look at that'll accommodate all 3 beers? My personal thought is work away with Blonde Ale.
Thanks in advance for any responses.
Dave
