very impressive. hope my cherry wheat looks something like that. was that puree or fresh fruit?
Just kinda "winged" it on the recipe. Used BeerSmith software to help me.
- 6lbs Wheat Liquid Extract
- .75oz Hallertauer Hersbrucker Pellet Hops (60 min boil)
- 3lbs Raspberry Puree added to wort last 1 min of boil
- Bavarian Wheat Yeast(Wyeast #3056) Made a starter two days before.
I will transfer to secondary probably in 5-7 days. I also have some Raspberry extract to add at bottle time if I want more raspberry flavor. Original gravity was around 1.040.
I'll keep ya posted on how it comes out.

Hey BBQBrew, any update on this? I'm looking to do either a raspberry or strawberry wheat myself soon and was curious!
USE YOUR BLOW OFF TUBE FOR FRUIT PUREEs KIDS!

I'm racking onto a few lbs of cherries later this week...thanks for the reminder! How much puree did you use?

Was your puree sanitary/sterile before you added it to the boil? A 1 minute boil really won't provide decent sanitation!BBQBrew said:

IIRC, most commercial purees are already sanitized - the heating of the puree does that. If I were making a home-made puree, I'd heat it to bubbling on the stove first.
