I was thinking of boiling the wort as usual for 50 mins, then pouring some of it in the blender with the kiwi, pouring it all back into the wort pot and boiling the whole thing for the remaining ten. Would that be ok?
ericd said:Okay, anyone have any idea of what the extract potential of kiwi is? The sugar content is 14%
Out of interest, what outcome are you wanting. A beer with subtle kiwifruit flavour or a fruit wine ?
For what is worth, Kiwi is the term for a New Zealander and they don't mix with beer at all. They shag sheep which causes them to bleat when we beat them at Rugby, League, cricket, soccer, basketball etc.
I've done a kiwi cherry hefewizen.. I used 5lb kiwi, blended and held at 170 ish for ten minutes, put into a secondary and then racked on top. I had some cherry extract around so I added about 1oz for just a hint in aroma. The beer was amazing, but I would double the kiwi. Very slight amount of kiwi flavor and nose.
sounds awesome. Did you put the kiwi in a hop sack, or did you just throw it in? Also, either way, did you leave the kiwi in the wort to go to the fermenter, or did you pull it out before then?
Thanks!
I have seen this beer mentioned many times on this site but never the actual recipe. Is there anyone here you could produce it for me or send me a link?
Kiwis are super on sale at my grocery store and I would love to do this beer. Thanks!
