- Juicy mango supported by notes of citrus, corn, and a grainy malt backbone.
Mango season just passed so I got to make one of my favorite summer brews with some delicious home grown fruit. I recently won a local comp with this brew and everyone loved it so I figured I'd share the recipe. Give it a try your sure to enjoy it. Between the Maris Otter, late kettle additions of Citra/Amarillo, ~6% ABV, and mango this is anything but your average cream ale. The base beer without the mango addition is amazing as well. Enjoy!
Grain Bill - 2 step mash. 15min @ 135f, 90min @ 150f
8# Thomas Fawcett Maris Otter
2# Flaked Corn
1# Flaked Rice(I use Minute white rice)
Boil -
Whirlfloc/Irish moss @ 10min
1oz Citra @ 8min
1oz Amarillo @ 8min
Fermentation -
After 10-14 days rack beer into secondary on top of 6# mango puree. This will kick up another fermentation lasting about another week. Allow secondary fermentation to finish and another few days for fruit to settle before begging/bottling.
*Note - I puree the mango chunks in a blender with a few shots of 3 Olives Mango Vodka to sanitize the fruit. Regular vodka probably works fine but I feel better using a mango vodka in case any flavor carries over. Plus my gf drinks the stuff
