I plan on making a strawberry beer. Any suggestions on what type of beer I should brew it in. And any other suggestions or tips you could give would be great since this is my first fruit beer.
When I go from my secondary to bottling won't I have to worry about seeds and fruit bits?
I am just starting and was wondering if there was a list of terminology someone could share with me.
+1 on the above responses regarding sterilization. I just did a blackberry beer myself (currently in the secondary) and I used store-bought fruit that I froze and put directly in the secondary. There seems to be a bunch of different opinions on how to use fruit (freeze it, puree it, do nothing to it, etc...) but based on the threads I've read here, people seem to have good results just freezing it and adding to secondary.
