Notes

Credits to WildGingerBrewing on Homebrewtalk for the recipe. This is my first time using the site and my FIRST beer. Recipe may be great but this is a work in progress for me.


Ferment @ 68F for 12 days and rack ONTO 8 lbs of frozen strawberries. Do not thaw them, do not puree them, dump them into a bucket and rack the beer on top of them.

Secondary on the berries for 7 days and rack into terrtiary for another 7 days. Cold crash for 7 more days, then bottle.

My Brewing Notes:
Brewed on 5/4/2020. Under estimated kettle dead space and misc losses, specifically the amount lost to the counter-flow chiller. Great beer day, just not as much beer as I had hopped for.
