I have this recipe 2x so far and just drank the last bottle of my first batch (I bottled in Belgians and corked). It becomes spectacular at 1 year and this last bottle was 3 years old still tasting great with a straight forward graininess that I love in a good triple.
Cheers!
I have tried both fresh and frozen and found that you get a bit more of the strawberry tartness while with frozen it sweetens the beer. The aroma is definitely strong either way!
Cracked open a 22 oz bottle of this for sharing and it was great and well carbonated after 30 days but it needs some time to mellow. I opened a 12 oz bottle and it was still a bit flat. For an extract brew this is fantastic.
Coming up on the time to rack my second batch of this to the secondary. First batch went fast. Has anyone tried this recipe with raspberries or a blend of them with strawberries?
