Just racked a 1.050 American Amber onto 4.5 pounds of Brazilian Pepper fruits. Brazilian Pepper is an exotic invasive that grows along ditches all over coastal Central and South Florida. I've never heard of anyone using the fruit in a beer, though the seed is often used. The seed is sold as "pink peppercorns". The fruit is much different in character. About 2 - 2.5 millimeters in diameter in massive clusters, and sweet, tart and very slightly piquant. We'll see how this one goes.
Wow, when I lived in FL we used to pay people to rip these trees out...never thought of brewing w them.
Brewed an all grain wheat beer and drank my first bottle of my first batch of homebrew!
