A malt and hop explosion, gorgeous colour, delicious, creamy and smooth bursting with goldings and cascade. Love it! I now want to try to create a new recipe based on a merging of the two individual beers recipes. The mix was about 5:1 blonde to black,
Probably easier to brew separately and mix before bottling, not sure how to calculate the actual abv of two mixed together.

Working out the combined ABV should be quite simple (ABVs picked out of the air).
Beer 1: ABV 4.3%
Beer 2: ABV 5.4%
Proportion 5:1
Combine 500ml of beer 1 and 100ml of beer 2.
Beer 1: 500ml beer = 4.3% * 500ml = 21.5ml alcohol
Beer 2: 100ml beer = 5.4% * 100ml = 5.4ml alcohol
So in the combined 600ml we have 21.5 + 5.4 = 26.9ml alcohol
As a percentage, that's 26.9 / 600 = 4.48%.
...and more to the point, I really must try combining some of my own!
Cheers Bryan, much appreciated :)
It's nice to actually be able to answer a home-brewing-related question for once instead of just asking them!
I'd like to say I know what you mean but I haven't got to the answering questions bit yet!
