Sing along with me...

So, for those of you who don't know, I've started brewing beer. My first beer has a very hoppy start which I'm hopping will mellow with a little age in the bottle. It still tastes good, but can be harsh to people who don't like the hoppy flavor ( Read more... )

What's floating at the top? Yeast? Or, did you add something to the secondary to get a different flavor? (fruit, I assume?)

methuse October 5 2006, 02:16:44 UTC

that's the fruity (raspberries)

maniacal_frenzy October 5 2006, 02:19:04 UTC

Ahhhh. Did you boil them? How long are you going to let them sit in the secondary?

Good luck!

methuse October 5 2006, 02:20:12 UTC

they're frozen, which breaks all the cell walls allowing the fruit to get all in there and stuff

i'm thinking 2 weeks in the secondary.

methuse October 5 2006, 02:39:36 UTC

yes. it tastes kinda like guinness now... with some mellowing and the raspberry flavor... this could be really good.

geekgirrl October 5 2006, 03:33:42 UTC
