Hello all,
I am a noob....I have tried one batch that got infected and brewing again this Sunday and want to run my process by you all and get some advice.
Here is my recipe...a peach summer ale.
1 lbs. Honey Malt
6.6 lbs. Liquid Light Extract
.75 lbs. Light Brown Sugar
1 oz. Northern Brewer (Whole, 8.00 %AA) boiled 60 min.
.5 oz. Sterling (Whole, 7.50 %AA) boiled 30 min
.5 oz. Sterling (Whole, 7.50 %AA) boiled 15 min.
4 pounds Organic Frozen Peaches
White Labs American Ale Yeast
Last brew I added I poured my wort into the carboy and added tap water. I think my issue was adding tap water when the wort was below 160 deg. This time I am going to try pouring the wort into the carboy when it is above 160 and then adding bottled water until it is at 5gal. Thoughts?
My other questions.....when should I add the peaches? In the primary or the secondary?
To ensure sanitization....how should I add them? Should I add a campden tablet?
Any other advice is welcomed. I am tired of buying beer and really want this batch to rock. I am opened to all suggestions.
Thanks!
Jim
