Mixing batches...

[SiegIPA]

So I started a batch of Imperial IPA. I thought it was a bust because there was no sign of life till 5 days in. That day I drove an hour to get more yeast but when I got home BINGO! Signs of life....so much so that the head of foam pushed up through the blowoff. Do I separated half the beer into a second fermenter. That was 3 weeks ago. I am giving it a few more days before racking.
Is it safe to re-combine the 2 fermenters contents now...if so is there any technique to doing so?

Is it safe to re-combine

well, the whole idea of a blowoff tube is that sometimes stuff blows out it. really no need to separate in the first place.

Now, the main concern is oxidation. Don't just pour the finished beer around . Rack it like you would for bottling/kegging.

Looking to bottle in 3-4 days but trying to eliminate some of the cleanup then by consolidating. So if I understand you...gently siphon one into the other. Is it safe to move the trub now and let it resettle or would you recommend avoiding that?

Either would work. Just give it time to settle before you package it.

I make 10 gallon batches using a keggle but ferment as 5 gal batches separately. After fermentation, to ensure even flavor distribution, Id rack half and half into my kegs.
