Have been planning 2 brews, on pacific ale clone and one Saison based on Tony's Bullshead Summer Saison. While researching this I noticed that the grain bills are fairly similar, in the ball park of 60% pils 40% wheat and similar IBUs are targetted of around 20-25IBU.
I no chill so was pondering this morning whether instead of doing these as seperate brews whether I could do a combined boil using a small bittering addition of around 5-10IBUs with a fairly neutral hop (I have some magnum which fits the bill) and then cube hop the pacific ale cube with galaxy flowers and the saison cube with something different, possibly challenger.
I have some white labs california ale yeast or S-05 which would work for the PA clone and some Wyeast farmhouse ale I was planning on using for the saison so obviously they will require vastly different fermentation temperatures but with the mercury rising that shouldn't be an issue with one at ambient and one in the fermenting freezer.
So are there any flaws to this plan or is it the perfect crime?
