Notes: 2/2025 Batch 6 - 6 lbs frozen puree var Zara. 10 bags of hibiscus tea (Republic of Tea Hibiscus Superflower Tea in 2 cups boiling water).
11/2023 - Batch 4: Last time the amount of fruit was 4.5 lb in about 5 gallons, frozen, pureed with lots of pectinase added. Adding pectinase to the ingredients. Used about 1/3 of the bottle from BSG (28g total) or about 9-10 grams.
The first two batches, I tried to put in 10 lb, but it was a struggle to fit and made it quite difficult to work with. 5 lb or 1 lb/gallon seemed to work, but the berries I'm using are very flavorful. Regular store-bought ones would likely need more lbs/gallon or boosting with extract.
added pectinase, 1 oz/28g Barbe Rouge, and 5 lb strawberry puree (frozen + food processor) on day 5. Delay due to illness. I think 2 days would have been perfectly post-krausen.
3/2023
Sticking with Barbe Rouge. Newest batch is smaller, putting 5 lbs/5 gallons. This was possibly the best batch I've made.
Substituting lots of things to try out a new yeast (sundew) and hops (HBC 630). Tried Zamba as dry hop and worked. Shifting to Barbe Rouge to accent red fruit.
Added hibiscus tea to attempt 2 (Zamba) to give a more acidic note and also a little bit more color. Turned out very nicely.

Original Authors notes:
This has been my go to ale recipe for years. It is light, flavorful, and loved by everyone who pulls a pint. You could dry it out a bit by adding a pound of suar or maze in the boil, but it stands well on its own.I brew it at least once a month. I never shared it until now as a friend of mine entered it into a local comp and won 1st overall.
Add a little gypsum to get mash ph to 5.5
let it ferment for 14 days and keg to 3vol. |

Duvel website describes hops used are Saaz & Styrian Golding.
>Make a big yeast starter (3L for 5gal batch).
>Option: alternate yeast is White Labs WLP570 (Belgian Golden ale)
-->used dry trappist yeast this time
>In steeping pot, heat mash water to 72C.
>Add crushed grains in grain bag
>Steep grains at 66C for 45mins
>Prepare brewpot boiling water
>When steep over, add subset of brewpot water (~32% of original steeping volume) to the grain tea in steeping pot, then pour all through the mash grains via colander into brewpot.
>Heat brewpot to boil
>Stir in dried malt extract
>Add hops & begin 60min boil
>With 15 mins left in boil, add kettle candi sugar, hops and Irish moss, then turn off heat and stir in light dried malt extract (substituted for original liquid malt extract)
>Stir well to dissolve extract, then resume heating (keep boil clock running while you stir)
>At end of the boil, add last charge of hops, cool wort and transfer to fermenter.
