Notes

Ferment at room temp. Add 500g of frozen cherries to secondary in cold room for 1-2 weeks until sulphur smell clears up! Don't worry I didn't bottle it all in clear bottles just 2 bottles!

Cheers!

Brewed this the other day, KILLER beer. Fermented at room temp since i dont have system to lager, was super sulphury at first as expected, racked it into a secondar fermentor, added in 500g of frozen cherries and let sit in a cold room at work (4`C) until the sulphur cleared up ~2 weeks. Turned out super tasty and a great light pink colour!
