this is my first fruit beer, well i have a honey wheat that i just racked over 3 lbs of figs. well, before the put the figs in, i put them in a food processor and made a thick paste out of them. well they have been in the secondary for 3 days now. all the seeds and some pulp has risen to the top of the carboy.like 3 inches of it. i am first afraid of it rotting? i kinda smelt alittle staleness coming from the airlock.... should that be a bother? also i just grabbed a little sample with my sanitized turkey baster and it taste good but really sweet after 3 days. i didn't think the figs would give off that much taste since, ya know there kinda subtle for a fruit..... sorry, my questions are: should i worry about the fig rotting? and how long do you ladies and gents usually leave ya beer on fruit? i was planning a week then racking for another week in a tertiary carboy.... thanks for anything on this! God Bless
