Mixing a Doppelbock and Oktoberfest

[nzeman20]

I brewed an Oktoberfest several months ago and it has been laagering at about 40*F for almost 3 months. However the FG finished at 1.009 (Shooting for 1.013). It tastes okay but lacks body and maltiness when I sample it. Fastforward to 3 weeks ago when I brewed a Dopplebock. The FG stalled at 1.027 (shooting for 1.020) even after stirring up yeast and bringing to room temp. It tastes good but is slightly too sweet and borderline cloying.

Neither of these situations are that bad, but my question is this: would it be a good idea to mix 2.5 gal of each into my keg? OG for Oktoberfest 1.060. OG for Doppelbock 1.082.

Thoughts?

If you aren't happy with either, I do not see a downside.

I certainly mix a pint glass of it first to make sure you dont end up with 5 gallons of quite disappointing beer.

I would try mixing in a glass first. You might find a different ratio that tastes better to you.

I think blending beer is awesome because you can achieve complexities that you couldn't reach in a single brew but I agree with the above that I would suggest mixing a small amount pre-kegging to find the balance you want.

Ps what yeast did you use in each?
Brew on!
