I finally found some raspberry syrup (couldn't find woodruff anywhere). Anyone know how to properly serve a Berliner? How much syrup? Is the syrup supposed to be cold when you pour it in?
Sirup to taste. I've served mine with Blueberry and Vanilla too.
I prefer to dose the glass with sirup and then pour the beer over that to ensure it's adequately blended.
Why don't you just blend it? If you don't have another beer to blend with right now, just brew up a nice quick standard wheat beer. Those things can go grain-to-glass in two weeks if you do them right. Then you can blend until you get just the right sourness for you.
I'm to find more to try it with. Did you just use vanilla flavoring or did you find a syrup? I can't wait to try maple. I also plan on dosing the glass first. It seemed to sit on the bottom if I poured the beer in first.
Just got a hold of some REAL berliner: Bayrischer Bahnhof.
Mine is WAY more acidic than this one. It says that this version is slightly restrained, but still. Now I see why a few of you drink it without schuss. I definitely don't need or want any in this one.
I'm really wondering how the judges are going to take mine now.
