Miscellaneous
1.5 lbs lactose (added 2 days after fermentation start)
6.0 lbs strawberry puree (added 2 days after fermentation start) [For the puree, took 6lbs of frozen strawberries, added 1.5lb of lactose on stove with ~12oz of fermenting ‘wort’ and heated gently to around 180F for ~15 minutes, to ensure no contamination of wild yeast)
Note: You can also add some pectinase at this time, which might help breakdown the strawberries a little more and enhance flavor extraction.
Notes from Hans
Added 1tsp of Acid Blend, which is "A 1/3 mix each of citric, tartaric and malic acids." This is to enhance the strawberry flavor. We pureed the strawberries with an immersion blender, tried filtering out the seeds but they were just too tiny. So, we just dumped the whole mix in.
Calculating the ABV seems fraught with peril. According to the grain bill the beer should be 5.2% ABV. But adding the strawberries two days in changes things. My OG jumped from 1.024 to 1.033 after adding them. If the beer ferments out as predicted, then the ABV will only be 5.38%. The original recipe says the ABV is 8%. IDK how they came up with that number. It could be that the sugars aren't evenly disbursed in the wort, making the TILT readings inaccurate. Seems odd that six pounds of strawberries would only change the ABV by 1%. According to the interwebz, there's 124g of sugar in six pounds of strawberries. Plus, the grain bill was 12 lbs. IDK. The ABV should be between 5% and 8%, but probably closer to 5%. If you uncheck the "late addition" boxes on the strawberr and lactose, the ABV suggestion is 6.92%, so that's probably a more realistic upper limit.
