I'm looking for a recipe close to a Shiner Cheer. Can't find anything like it.

Do you have any updates on the concept of this?
Or hell if you haven't brewed it, I'm right down the road from you if you want to try an all grain batch. I'm off the 35 and Walzem area in San Antonio. Should just be a simple conversion since you did mini replace the 4# LME with 6# of base grains.
That seems like a lot in the peach and pecan departments but let us know how it turns out. I've never had good experience with using peaches -- tends to produce a sort of muddled flavor -- but you may have better luck.
So here is my thought. I'm not going to secondary. I'm going to primary for a month and am using 24 oz of pecans. I'm blanching them in water and vodka to get the oils off. I will add the peach extract at bottling time a tbsp at a time til I get what I want then add one more maybe as it will die off a bit In carbonation I imagine. I'll come back a month later and let you know how much peach I use.

I'll give it a taste and see if I need to add more peach. Let me know how the apricot works out. If I am unhappy with the peach I may switch for the next batch. (I have not had good results with flavorings thus far)

Elweydoloco said:Awesome awesome! I picked up the supplies to do an all grain version from the LHBS I'll wait for your flavor notes perhaps if I can keep the person that wants it off me long enough to do so and then give it a whirl. If you determine anything in the interim, please let me know. I suppose you can take it slow and add some peach or pecan to the secondary as you go and see how it smells and tastes throughout uncarbed. However you're running the infection risk playing that game.

Rice hulls? What for?
