Notes

Mash grains at 152 °F for 60 minutes. Bring the wort to a boil. Add hops and boil for 30 minutes. Add yeast nutrients with 10 minutes left in the boil. Stir in honey at knockout. Chill wort, aerate well, and pitch yeast. Ferment at 68–70 °F. When fermentation is complete (or nearly complete), make cranberry relish. Do this by rinsing the fruit in water, then combining cranberries, apples (minus the cores) and whole oranges (rind and all) in a food processor. Blend to the consistency of cranberry relish, or slightly “chunkier.” Place fruit in sanitized bucket fermenter and rack beer onto it. (You can put the fruit in a nylon steeping bag to keep it contained. You do not need to sanitize the fruit itself.) Add pectic enzyme. Let fruit contact the beer for 7–10 days, then rack beer to bottles or keg. Carbonate to 2.8 volumes of CO2.
