Good morning,
I've been thinking about doing a flavored wheat beer in the near future, either raspberry, peach, or strawberry. I've read a few threads on here about it but I was wondering why when adding the fruit to the secondary it doesn't go bad.
I mean, you leave fruit out on a counter for a few days and it molds and grows fruit flies. So wouldn't it do the same if you drop it in a carboy? Is there anything special that needs to be done to fruit before adding to the beer?
