Hi all,
I'm planning to make a dark beer, similiar perhaps to an Ebulum, using dried haws as an ingredient. Problem is, I can't find any hints on how to do this. Haw wine has recipes, but beer? Anyway, thoughts? The wine recipes suggest blanching 4 oz haws per gal of water, or 3 oz for 5 gal if "enhancing" red wine. I'm so far thinking compromise with 8oz for 5 gal, but do I blanch? Soak in Wild Turkey for a few weeks, then add berries and liquour to secondary?
Thanks,
Matt
