Hi All,
Added 12.5lbs of frozen (thawed and heated before adding) strawberries to secondary in my recent 5gal batch of American Wheat Ale. Wondering how long I should leave them in for? People drinking this like a fruit forward flavor so not worried about the flavor being too overwhelming. Mostly worried that if I leave things in there too long the fruit might go bad and affect the beer?
Side note: was hoping to get more of a red color out of this but it looks like its still the normal brown/orange wheat ale color. Any suggestions for how to get that red color?
