I brewed a partial mash/ extract sweet chocolate stout with a secondary fermentation addition of cherry. (5gal batch) I added a 3 lb can of brewers cherry puree and had absolutely no cherry flavor come through. So I went ahead and added 64 oz of maraschino cherries (w/juice) and took sample and got some flavor so let it ferment another two weeks, bottle conditioned for another 3weeks and served @ Christmas. When we had it there was absolutely no cherry flavor at all! I was stumped. Should I have added the cherries later in secondary or even during bottling?
