Notes

Fruit addition details:

  • Add Rhubarb at Flame Out.
  • Chill wort to 170*F
  • Add Raspberry puree
  • Hold at 170*F for 20 minutes
  • Continue with immersion chill to 70*F

    Won silver in the fruit beer category for a ladies homebrew competition! BJCP Judges notes:
    Judge1: I'd enjoy slightly more body and dryness; I'd suggest adding flaked barley to acheive both ends.
    Judge 2: I would have liked a tad more body and perceived alcohol - can you increase your grain bill somewhat?
