Racked to Secondary, added 14g Cascade in free-floating, tied muslin hop bag and ~700g of Fuyu Persimmons. Persimmons were diced, mixed with ~1/2 tbsp of fresh grated ginger, held around 77*C in a pan over direct heat for roughly 20 minutes, mashed, and then added to a nylon drawstring bag. Any remaining juices were also added to the beer. |

Tasted beer after 8 days of dry-hopping and infusion with persimmon mash. Nose and flavor were pleasant, but the back-end was extremely bitter and even astringent. Persimmon and hop bags were removed, and 2L of a 100% fruit juice blend were added: 1L of Ceres brand Litchi juice blend (litchi, grape, and apple juices, fortified with Vitamin C; no sugar or preservatives added), and 1L of Malee brand mangosteen juice blend (75% mangosteen, 15% pomegranate, and 10% red grape; no sugar or preservatives added). |

After 3 days of fermentation due to added fruit juice, beer was racked to a new fermentor in an attempt to further mellow the astringent back-end. A sample tasting confirmed the juice addition did cut the bitterness. Beer was also strained for particulate matter by attaching a nylon bag to the end of the hose while racking. No gravity measurement was taken. |
