3lbs Extra light DME
3lbs wheat DME
1oz Fuggle (60 min)
5lbs frozen strawberries, quartered
1 wyeast pack of british ale yeast
1 week of fermentation in primary, then racked onto strawberries. After two days in the secondary, about a pound of strawberries were lost due to robust fermentation through the blow off tube. I have had the strawberry blonde ale in secondary for 2 weeks now, and I'm still seeing some mild fermentation activity. I'm a little worried that the loss of the strawberries resulting in less strawberry flavor.
Should I add more strawberries now, or has that time passed? I think I have enough head space to add another pound without blow off issues.
