Thinking of brrwing a #9 type beer.

scottballz · Feb 14, 2013

Hey everyone,
I'm new to the forum and semi new to home brewing so please be nice. I was thinking of brewing a #9 type of beer using a great pale ale recipe. I have had great results with this recipe and was thinking of adding some apricot purée to spice it up a little. Any thoughts?

What is #9 type of beer?

JohnnyO · Feb 14, 2013

I think scottballz is referring to Magic Hat #9.

When would you add the puree?

TheJasonT · Feb 14, 2013

I would vote for 1/3rd of the purée at 5 minutes and the other two thirds in secondary.

Just FYI, Magic Hat uses apricot extract in #9. Heard a podcast interview with one of the guys there a couple of years ago.

Thanks for the tips guys. I really appreciate it!!!

If I use the extract when do you think a good time to add it would be?

Here we go. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f12/can-you-brew-recipe-magic-hat-number-9-a-175571/ Basically, 2-5 oz of extract at bottling.

For the extract wait till bottling and pull a small measured sample say like 6 Oz then add extract till sample is desired flavor then extrapolate the sample size to the batch size and add that amount to the beer

Scott Ballz - From Burlington?

Question - is the extract just "pure flavor" or is there sugar in it too? If there is sugar and you add it at bottling, how do you determine how much priming sugar to use?
