So my wife has requested that I make a fruit type beer. I want to try an accommodate her request since she is the one who got me started brewing and has been very supportive of my fast growing addiciton to homebrewing.
So my thought was, if I am going to have a fruity beer sitting around, how can I step up the ABV? I was thinking of making a blonde ale then rack to secondary with some strawberries or something like that.
I know one fairly easy way to boost the ABV would be to dump a crap ton of corn sugar or something similar near the end of the boil. With it being a fruity beer, I wouldn't mind as much if it turned out sweet.
What do you guys think? Is something along this thought process even feasible?
