Raspberry Wheat

Post #1 made 12 years ago
by jerryd68
Working on planning my next few brews and I have several pounds of large golden raspberry's from my garden that I would like to use to flavor a wheat beer, I have looked on all the beer sights that I can find on how to do this. Some say to add the berries after flame out to sterilize the berries and to prevent pectin haze, others say to add to the primary still others to add to a secondary. Some say to bring them to 180 degrees in a sauce pan to pasturize them, some say to soak them in vodka. Just wondering if any of you have made this beer and have any suggestions.

Look at http://www.basicbrewing.com/index.php?page=radio

They have a lot of shows on brewing with fruit. Most people freeze the fruit because it makes the cells burst and releases the juice. Add the frozen fruit to a secondary. Some haze will appear. So what? As long as it tastes good. You can remove some haze for competitions but for normal drinking time will clear it up enough.

You can just read the shows titles and pick interesting shows on other subjects.
