I brewed up a farmhouse ale with coriander and fresh cracked black peppercorns. The total batch size was 8.5 gal, 5.5 gal going into a keg and 3 gal getting bottled.
The 3 gal batch had 12 oz of red beets added to it after primary was over (approx 10 days in) and the beets stayed in the fermenter for 6 more days. If you like beets, this is VERY beety and awesomely red. The aroma is earthy, flavor is earthy as well with a nice saison spice undertone and a little bitter but it's young so that will probably fade a bit with time, and the finish is clean.
I prepped the beets by peeling and chopping into small chunks. I added the beets to a pan and covered them with 180 F water which I let soak for 30 mins to help sterilize. I added this entire mixture to the primary as noted above
