Hi gang,
Thought a few of you that also make beer may have some input on this.
I have a "house" IPA that I make and really like, typically I follow the same general base recipe for my pale ales. I am going to stick with that for this beer, but I am going back and fourth on when to make some fruit an honey additions...
2# 2-row steeped at 156F for 30 min
2# munich steeped at 156F for 30 min
.25# cara-pils steeped at 156F for 30 min
.25# crystal 20 steeped at 156F for 30 min
5# light DME boil 60 min
.5 oz galena boil 60 min
Nottingham yeast
I may do a late addition of hops (galena, columbus, goldings or cascade)
Then the hard part.
I want to add:
2# whole blackberries (thinking primary for color extraction)
1 can (3#) rasperry puree (oregon) (perhaps secondary)
2.25# blackberry blossom honey (again secondary)
When to add the fruit and honey is the question...
I am looking for a sweet product with some fruit and honey charecter, and I know that notty will handle a lot of alcohol.
I will keg this one.
Let me know what you think!
Thanks,
Olaf
