Hello all. I have a very nice Belgian Wit that I've been making for some time, and I had this wild thought to take half of my current batch (about to go into the secondary) and add a few quarts of homemade/homegrown pear syrup that we made this summer. I'm curious if anyone has added their own fruit puree or syrup to a wheat beer in the secondary, and what they did afterwards. What I mean is, I can see letting
(a) it all ferment out and then prime/bottle
(b) mostly ferment out and bottle hoping the remaining pear sugars carbonate
(c) ferment it for a bit taking tastes every day or two and when I like the flavor, prime and bottle and then heat pasteurize the bottles like I would for a cider when they are sufficiently carbed.
Anyone have experience with this?
