So my wife wants a blackberry beer...
I made a blueberry wheat ale a couple years ago that I thought SUCKED but everyone else really liked.
Currently, I have a Brewer's Best American Cream Ale kit in primary. I used Wyeast 2035(the yeast that came with the kit was bad, dead) and I had 2 good days of airlock activity. I am wondering if I should transfer it to my secondary and add the blackberry puree that I boiled down the other day.
Is it too soon(I'll check the SG soon to see how far along it is)? I don't want the fermentation to scrub the blackberry flavor... as happened recently with a blueberry wheat ale that is only worth pouring down the drain. Would it be worth adding honey to sweeten up the blackberry tartness?
Is my thinking wrong?
Thanks!!!
