Notes: After active fermentation is complete, puree 5 lb mango* in a food processor and boil for 15 min, then add it to the empty secondary fermenter. Rack primary over mango mash in and gently stir. Keg in about 2 weeks. Make sure it tastes almost too fruity, as carbonating and conditioning will cause it to fade.
*I bought 10 lb of mango, which was pretty close to 5 lb of mango flesh after peeling and removing the pits. |
