How to blend beers ?

[Swaroga]

Hi all.
I wonder how to proceed if I wish to blend two different beers.

Should I just mix them just before the priming and bottling ? Should I mix them and then let them rest in a fermenter for a while ? Any ideas ?

The project would be to blend a Gose and a Belgian Blond.

Do you already know the ratio at which your going to mix? 2:1 3:1 4:1, or 1:1. That would be the first thing I would figure out. If your just going to do a 1:1 blend then I would mix them in the bottling bucket right before bottling. Then add the priming sugar and give it a slight stir to make sure the mixture is homogeneous.

I'll start with 1:1 on the beginning. With other ratios should there be any other procedures ? Or just make sure to blend it well together ? Also, Gose will have some lactic bacteria in it ... I guess the bacteria will continue to infect the blend.


Next question comes to mind, what would you do to stop the lactic bacteria activity ?
