Our second attempt at brewing got a little more adventurous. We made a flitered wheat beer that we decided to spike with about five pounds of frozen organic raspberries during the fermentation process. As kids with severe A.D.D. are wont to do, we sampled this beer far before it was supposed to be ready. Our reaction? "I think we brewed a fucking wine cooler." It's not terrible, but the raspberries raped this beer of any wheat purity it could have had. No matter though- it SHOULD settle down in the coming weeks as it bottle ferments.
For any of you who are interested in sampling our wares, leave me a comment. Bottles will be sent to you, free of charge.
Next up: A vanilla bean-laced oatmeal stout. Yeah, we're going to bite off my new favorite beer cocktail.
Stay tuned...
Um, yeah, of COURSE I want to sample your wine cooler! :) I'm very curious about the raspberries and think you're right, they should mellow.
ReplyDeleteJay & Megan should have my address. Cheers!!
I know I'm already on the mailing list so this is not a necessary post. Just don't venture into the brewing realm of my signature beer...the chefe ;-)
