Hello!
A friend and I brewed a Wheat beer a few weeks, and we thought we would make it a Kiwi Wheat. Our idea is to rack to the secondary, onto 7-8#'s of Kiwi, and place the carboy in the fridge. We don't want the yeast to eat up the sugars, rather take all that kiwi flavor straight out of the fruit into the beer.
That being said, what steps would you recommend to avoid contamination? With keeping the carboy cold in the secondary, would that avoid the risk of any wild yeasts spoiling the beer? Or what should we be doing?
Thanks for the advise!
