I am thinking of doing a fruit beer soon, using blueberries.
A few questions on this subject:
a.) I have been reading Papazian's Complete Joy of Homebrewing, and he makes a good point about having to sterilze the fruit so infect the beer. However, I have seen recipies using fruit during the secondary fermentation. What are some good methods for doing this?
b.) Right now I am using plastic 6 gallon buckets for fermentation, I am considering going to glass, you know, eventually. My worry is that the fruit might stain my bucket, any advice on this?
Thanks.
