I'm really wanting to do a Saison this summer and I just love peaches so I'm thinking this is going to be pretty good.

I'm very new to brewing so please don't hold back if something doesn't look right.

Thinking about a peach beer later this summer - when the Colorado western slope peaches become available. How is this one doing?

The problem is the raw fruit. I would look into a purée or an extract flavoring. What your looking for is just a hint of peach flavor on the back end. You can always try it to learn.

Bring the fruit to 160°f with a bit of sugar and pectic enzyme to pasturiz. The pectic enzyme is for clarity.
I would up the peaches to two pounds per gallon. It is hard to extract peach flavor. Mosher in radical brewing mentions apricots are good for peach flavor.
