I love fall, especially now that we live in the desert southwest: we drop out of the triple digits and I get to golf again. So I got myself all excited with the approaching autumnal holidays and decided last weekend to brew a "fall-y" beer. It's a wheat that sits on 3lbs of cranberries, 2 oranges and 2 apples, all macerated together in secondary.
I guess I thought for a second that I was back east, where cranberries seemed to be available year round...but now I've got a wheat that needs to be racked and I don't have the ingredients to finish it. There are some specialty stores in town that may have them, but $$$!
So- do you all think it'd be okay to rack to secondary (dry, no fruit) and "age" (stall) until the dang berries find their way into our local market? At that point I would rack again onto the fruit and pretend none of this ever happened...
